Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 250 g butter, at room temperature Make sure the butter is at room temperature for the creamiest blend.
  • 150 g sugar White granulated sugar works best for texture.
  • 1 large egg Adds richness to the dough.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses flavor into the cookies.
  • 350 g wheat flour Sift before adding to the mixture.
  • 2 tablespoons milk Use to adjust the dough consistency if needed.

  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.
  3. Gradually fold in the sifted flour until a uniform and soft dough forms.
  4. If the dough is too firm, add a splash of milk to soften it.
  5. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag with a star tip, or roll into cylinders and slice.
  6. Arrange dollops of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space for expansion.
Baking
