Butter cookies

#12plates Have fun with these cookies, cut them different shapes and sizes and colour them as you wish. My cookies were different sizes so I took the smaller ones out of the oven earlier.

Ingredient

Food ration :

Abt. 30 cookies

Cooking time :

15 - 20 minutes

1/2 cup

butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup

granulated sugar

2 cups

all-purpose flour

egg yolk

2 tsp

vanilla extract

1/2 tsp

salt

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Mix with an electric mixer or whisk until light and paler in colour.

* Step 2

Add in the egg yolk and vanilla and whisk again. (If you want to pipe your cookies, also add 1/3 cup milk and freeze the piped cookies for about 30 minutes before baking.)

* Step 3

Next, add in the dry ingredients and with a spatula fold it in and mix until a dough forms, if the dough is too dry, add a splash of milk at a time until a firm but slightly soft dough forms.

* Step 4

Colour the dough as desired if doing so.

* Step 5

Roll out the dough to about 1/4 of an inch thickness and cut out the cookies.

* Step 6

Place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 325 degrees fahrenheit anywhere between 15 - 20 minutes, depending on how big or thick your cookies are.

* Step 7

Let them cool completely and glaze and add sprinkles if desired. Or decorate with piping gel or any other sugar glaze. Happy Holidays and Baking and Enjoy!
