Cook Time 15 minutes mins
Total Time 35 minutes mins
- 1 cup butter, softened 8 oz/225 g
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar 5 oz/142 g
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 10 oz/284 g
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) Fan Assist and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
With an electric mixer on high speed, cream the butter, sugar, and salt until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, cream, and vanilla extract.
With the mixer speed on low, gently mix in the flour until just combined.
Scoop the dough into your pastry bag fitted with a star nozzle or cookie press and pipe cookies onto the prepared baking sheets into your desired shape. I did swirls.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden on the edges. Gently transfer to a cooling rack until completely cooled.
Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
