Ingredients

unsalted butter (soft) 150 g

superfine sugar 150 g

egg (lightly beaten) 1

vanilla extract 1/2 tsp

all-purpose flour 225 g

Instructions

Make the dough

Mix all ingredients in a bowl until a soft dough forms. On a floured surface, gently knead the dough, then roll it into a sausage shape 5 cm in diameter and 20 cm long. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For mini cookies, divide the dough in half and roll into thinner logs.

Preheat and slice

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Using a knife dipped in water and dried, cut the dough into 5 mm thick slices.

Baking

Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet, spaced 2.5 cm apart. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes, until the edges begin to turn golden. Let sit on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Storage

Wrap remaining dough in plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator. Must be used within 7 days, or wrap in two layers of plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
