from Mae Sizemore
1 c. butter or margerine
3/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg yolk, unbeaten
2 1/4 c. sifted flour
Beat butter; gradually add brown sugar, creaming well. Blend in egg yolk, then add flour. Stir until mixture forms a dough. Chill if necessary for easy handling. Shape into balls about the size of a marble. Place on ungreased baking sheet and flatten to 1/8-in. thickness with the palm of the hand. Mark a design by pressing with a fork in one direction. Bake at 325 degrees for 8-10 minutes until cookies begin to brown very lightly. Remove from sheets while warm. Place flat sides of two cookies together with frosting sandwich-style. Cookies are also delicious plain.
