Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla, beating until well mixed.
- Add the flour and salt, beating just until smooth.
- Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the baking sheet. OR use a cookie press/mold to shape the dough. We used a piping bag to make them this cute swirl shape.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the bottoms begin to brown. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Storage: Store butter cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
