Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the egg whites, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated after each addition. The mixture may look slightly curdled at first, but keep mixing until smooth.
Sift the all-purpose flour and salt, then add them to the mixture. Mix gently until just incorporated to form a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip (around 1/4 inch in diameter). Alternatively, you can use a resealable plastic bag with the tip snipped off.
Pipe batter onto the prepared baking sheets in 2-inch-long lines, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-baking.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies on their own, or pair them with coffee, tea, or ice cream for a delightful treat.
