Cream butter, add sugar and cream until fluffy. Add egg yolks and vanilla and mix well. Add flour a little at a time until you have a smooth dough. Divide dough into thirds. Pat each third into ungreased pans 1/4 inch thick. Score* to make 20 pieces; Poke down to bottom of pan with a fork a few times in each square. Repeat the same in the other pan. You will not have enough dough to fill the other one so just use what you have.

Bake for 22-25 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately cut again following the scored lines. Let cool completely before removing from pans.

*Use a bench scraper to score dough.
