Preheat oven to 350. Prepare two cookie sheets. These can be ungreased, non-stick pans or pans fitted with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine room-temperature butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Divide the dough into four equal parts.

Dough will be rolled out to 11" x 2" x 3/8". Do this directly on the cookie sheet. There will be two rectangles per sheet, about 3 inches apart. I like to make it into a bit of a snake with my hands and roll it from there. This does not need to be a perfect rectangle. The dough spreads as it bakes, so you will never end up with perfectly square cookies.

Sprinkle 1/4 Tbsp of turbinado on top of each log.

Cool for a few minutes and then use a cookie cutter to cut the cookies. I do one long cut down the center (long way), and then do 1" strips all the way down.
