Cookies: In a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium until pale and fluffy, 5 mins. Scrape down the bowl. Beat in the yolks and vanilla until just combined.

Working with 1 disk at a time, roll dough to 1/4" thick. Cut out cookies and transfer to cookie sheets and chill 15 mins.
Bake at 350º F until golden, 17-20 mins. Cool cookies racks. Decorate with the icing.
