How to Make It
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until smooth. One at a time, beat in 2 of the eggs; beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 3
With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated (the dough will be stiff). Shape into 2 disks and refrigerate, wrapped, for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
Step 4
Heat oven to 350° F. On a floured surface, roll pieces of the dough into ⅜ -inch-thick cords and cut into 6-inch lengths. Shape into twists, then place on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Step 5
Beat the remaining egg. Brush the twists with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the coarse sanding sugar.
Step 6
Bake until just beginning to brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 7
Keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
