- 1 cup butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for sprinkling
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) Fan Assist and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
With an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and salt together on High speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until combined.
On low speed add the flour and mix until just combined and your dough is formed.
Scoop dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large open star tip (9mm) and pipe 2-inch (5cm) circles onto the prepared baking sheets.
Sprinkle each biscuit with the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
Bake the trays for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.
