Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Mixing bowl
Mixer
Pipping bag
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, very soft
- 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- Turbinado sugar or any other large-grain sugar
- 1/2 cup chocolate chopped and melted (optional)
- Sprinkles of colored decorating sugar (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the very soft butter and white sugar into a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer on medium until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the egg and vanilla and mix well.
Mix in the flour and salt on low speed until they are completely combined.
Place the dough in a large piping bag fitted with a wide coupler and tip.
Pipe cookies that are 1-2” across on the baking sheets.
Sprinkle the cookies generously with turbinado sugar.
Place the cookies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the dough to become firm.
Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges.
Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Store in an airtight container or bag for up to a week.
To dip the cookies in chocolate:
Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 10-15 second intervals, stirring in between.
Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, dip one half of each cookie in it.
Allow the excess chocolate to run off, then place the cookie back on the parchment lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle with any decorations you wish before the chocolate hardens. You can place it in the refrigerator to harden faster if you wish.
- Yield: 18-24 piped cookies (depending on how big you want the cookies)
