Preheat the oven to 375°F degrees.
With an electric mixer or by hand, mix the sugar, butter, egg yolk and vanilla till you get a creamy mixture.
Then, add the flour and mix just until it is fully incorporated into the blend.
Flour a clean work surface (as a large piece of parchment paper), and roll out the dough very thin using a rolling pin.
Cut the flattened dough into desired shapes, re-shaping and re-rolling the dough as needed after each batch to get the most cookies.

With a small spatula, place the cut cookies onto a room temperature baking sheet lined with parchment paper or on a cookie tray.
Place the tray on the center wire rack of the oven.
Bake the cookies for 6-10 minutes until the edges become slightly golden.

You can make various shapes of the cookies so that the recipe fits any holiday season.
Before adding the flour to the dough mixture, make sure that the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the flour gradually and in portions to the butter mixture.
Place the cookies apart from each other when you put them on the sheet or tray.
Leave the cookies to cool completely before decorating them.
PRO TIP: You can wrap the cookies or box them as a special gift for your beloved ones on this special day.
