This recipe for butter cookies was taken from Baking Bites. It is a simple recipe that makes basic butter cookies, but it is easy to make them look all snazzy with different sprinkles or other toppings!
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 cups bleached all-purpose flour
Sprinkles, sugar, or whatever you want
Mix together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Next, add in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and salt. Slowly add in the flour until the dough becomes smooth. Divide into 2-4 logs (depending on how big you want your cookies to be) and roll them into wax paper. Freeze for at least two hours (you can freeze up to a few days to make for later!).
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Slice the logs into pieces about a 1/4 an inch thick. Place on the cookie sheet and decorate! Bake for about 12-14 minutes, or until the edges turn a light brown. Cool, and eat!
