Best butter cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Unsalted Butter: 8 ounces (softened)
  • Granulated Sugar: 3/4 cup
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 1/2 teaspoons
  • Egg Yolk: 1 large
  • All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups

Instructions:

  1. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the Egg Yolk: Mix in the egg yolk until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add the flour and mix just until the dough comes together.
  4. Shape the Dough: Roll the dough into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  5. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Slice and Bake: Slice the chilled dough into 1/8-inch thick rounds and place them on the baking sheets, spaced about an inch apart. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

These cookies are versatile—you can dip them in chocolate, sandwich them with jam, or enjoy them plain with a cup of tea. Let me know if you’d like more tips or variations! 🍪✨
