Ingredients
- 227 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light, fluffy, and pale in color, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together.
Step 4
Divide the dough in half. Roll each portion into a log about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
Step 5
Refrigerate the dough logs for at least 2 hours or until firm. The dough can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 7
Slice the chilled dough logs into 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thick rounds and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 1 inch apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy these crisp, buttery delights with tea, coffee, or as a treat on their own!
