Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, softened to room temperature, unsalted
- 2 egg at room temperature, yolk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk
- chocolate melting wafers optional
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Add the flour and salt to a medium bowl and mix. Set aside.
- Add the softened butter and sugar to a mixing bowl and cream them until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolks and mix thoroughly scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the vanilla extract and combine.
- Add the flour mixture to the batter a third at a time, mixing thoroughly in between.
- Mix until just combined and there are no more flour streaks.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add a small amount of the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. The dough should be thick, but pipeable. I double bagged my piping bag to try and avoid a blowout.
- If it’s too thick, add it back to the dough and add a Tablespoon of milk and mix again. Try to pipe it again.
- Once the dough is pipeable, pipe 1 ½ to 2-inch swirls on a parchment lined baking pan approximately 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are JUST starting to turn golden brown.
- Remove them from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
- Optional: Once cool, add chocolate melting wafers to a microwave safe bowl and microwave 15 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip the cookies into the chocolate and allow the extra to drip off.
- Add a little pinch of sprinkles to the chocolate and set them on a wire rack to dry. Use a knife to gently release the dried cookies from the rack.
