Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar pearls for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a teaspoon, scoop small amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie. Flatten each ball slightly and sprinkle sugar pearls on top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
