Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and the egg. Beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed. Alternate with the milk to form a soft, smooth dough.
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, forming small rings about 2 inches in diameter. Leave space between each as they will spread slightly during baking.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the butter rings in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
