- In a bowl, sift the flour with the sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In a food processor, pulse the dry ingredients with the butter until the butter is the size of large peas.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the cream with the egg.
- Stir the cream mixture into the dry ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
- Using a 1/2-cup measure, scoop 5 mounds of dough onto each prepared baking sheet, spacing them well apart.
- Brush the mounds with the egg wash and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 and position racks in the upper and lower thirds.
