Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 egg yolk
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
– Optional: chocolate chips or nuts for topping
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Get ready for some deliciousness!
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This is where the magic begins!
3. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully combined.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, or your cookies might become tough!
5. If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in some chocolate chips or nuts for that extra flavor!
6. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them to spread.
7. Gently flatten each cookie ball with the palm of your hand, then sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar on top for some sweetness!
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them so they don’t get too brown.
9. Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Enjoy your irresistible butter cookies with a warm cup of tea or coffee!
