Add the granulated sugar in two additions, beating until fluffy after each portion is added. Add the whole egg; beat for one minute. Add the egg yolks and continue beating for an additional minute. Blend in the vanilla extract and light cream. In three additions, add the sifted flour mixture, mixing just until the flour particles have been absorbed. The dough is quite sticky at this point.
