Instructions
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine flour and next 3 ingredients (through salt), stirring well with a whisk.
Place butter and brown sugar in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy (about 1 minute). Gradually add flour mixture, beating at low speed. (
Mixture will appear crumbly.)
Sprinkle ice water over flour mixture; beat at low speed just until combined. Shape the dough into 2 (6-inch-long) logs; wrap each log in plastic wrap. Chill 1 hour or until very firm.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Unwrap dough; cut each log into 16 slices using a serrated knife.
Place dough circles 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
Sprinkle tops evenly with turbinado sugar, gently pressing into dough.
Bake at 350 for 18 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove from baking sheets; cool on a wire rack.
