Ingredients

• 230 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 280 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg yolk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, salt, and the egg yolk to the creamed butter mixture. Mix on low speed until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Divide the dough in half and roll each portion into a log approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.

Step 6

Once chilled, slice the dough into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to maintain the soft, buttery texture.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
