Ingredients
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 egg whites, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter and sugar. Use the paddle attachment to cream the mixture until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
- While beating, add the egg whites gradually, mixing well after each addition.
- Beat in the vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, combine flour and salt. Add to the butter mixture.
- While beating at low speed, gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and beat until moistened. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat until well-incorporated.
- Transfer the batter into a large pastry bag with a ¼-inch round tip or Ziploc bag with the tip cut off.
- Pipe the batter into about ¼-inch thick and 3 inch-long logs on the prepared baking sheets at about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for about 14 to 17 minutes, or until the sides are starting to brown, but tops are still light in color.
- Remove from the oven, allow to slightly cool, and transfer to a cookie rack while still warm.
- Allow to cool completely. Cookies will crisp up as they cool.
Notes
- Bake the cookies until the edges start to brown, but the tops are still light in color.
- They'll be soft to touch when taken out of the oven but will crisp up as they cool.
- Allow to slightly cool and remove from the parchment while still warm to keep from sticking.
