Instructions
1. Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg yolk and vanilla extract, mix well.
- Gradually mix in flour and salt until a soft, smooth dough forms.
- If dough is sticky, refrigerate 15–20 minutes.
2. Shape the Cookies
- Roll the dough into small balls (~1 inch / 2.5 cm).
- Flatten slightly with your hand or a fork.
- Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
4. Optional Finishing Touch
- Dust with powdered sugar for a classic look and extra sweetness.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough.
- You can also sandwich them with jam or chocolate for a special treat.
- Store in an airtight container — they stay tender for a week.
