Instructions
Prepare the dough
In a large bowl, cream together the cold butter and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and egg yolk, mixing until combined.
Pro tip: Ensure the butter is cold to achieve the desired texture.
Incorporate dry ingredients
Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.
Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to maintain the tender texture of the cookies.
Chill the dough
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Pro tip: Chilling helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
Pro tip: Keep the rolling pin lightly floured to prevent sticking.
Bake the cookies
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove and let cool on a wire rack.
Pro tip: Watch the cookies closely as they can quickly overbake.
