Ingredients

  • 8 ounces unsalted butter

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1 large egg yolk

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  • Beat the butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla together until smooth and creamy.
  • Mix in the egg yolk until well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl at least once.
  • Add the flour and mix just until incorporated.
  • Scrape onto a lightly floured board and knead a few times, just until the dough smooths out.
  • Turn onto a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a log, wrap up and refrigerate for several hours or freeze.
  • Before baking, preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Line your baking sheets with parchment.
  • Slice the dough into slices about 1/8" thick and place them on the sheets about an inch apart (they won't be spreading very much, but they need air room around each cookie).
  • Note
  • Bake until JUST beginning to turn golden around the edges, about 16-18 minutes
