Put the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse with knives so that they mix well.
Throw in the butter and pulse again until the mixture resembles a coarse meal (you should have small balls the size of a pea mixed with small flakes).
Turn the machine off and add the water. Pulse until a ball forms.
Place the dough on a work surface, shape it into a circle and push it a little flat.
Wrap it in plastic and let the dough rest for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 355 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Place a baking sheet on a baking plate.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Place the dough between two sheets of waxed paper and roll it out so that it is a half-inch thick.
Grab your cookie cutter and punch out the cookies from the dough.
Place them on the baking sheet and leave 2 cm space between the cookies.
Mix the egg yolk with a few drops of cold water.
Brush the top of the dough with the egg yolk.
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Place on a wire rack and allow to cool further.
