About this recipe
These classic vanilla butter cookies are made with all-purpose flour, butter, egg, sugar, and vanilla. Butter gives them a distinct buttery flavor and delicate crispness, while vanilla lends a simple, homemade character. Mix the dough only until it comes together so the cookies do not become dense. A balanced ratio of butter to flour and baking just until pale golden are key.
Ingredients
200 g all-purpose flour
120 g butter
70 g sugar
1 egg
a pinch of vanilla
Steps
Cream the softened butter with the sugar until combined and slightly paler. The butter should be soft enough to work with but not liquid. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix until evenly incorporated.
Add the flour and combine briefly with a spatula or your hand, just until a soft dough forms with no dry flour. Avoid prolonged kneading to keep the cookies tender.
If the dough sticks to your hands and cannot be shaped, cover and chill for 10–15 minutes. It should remain pliable but be firm enough to divide without spreading.
Preheat the oven to 175°C with top and bottom heat. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, place on a lined baking sheet and flatten to about 7–8 mm thick, leaving spaces between them. Bake for 10–15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain pale.
Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack with a spatula. Move them only once they hold their shape; they will reach their final crisp texture after cooling.
