Ingredients • • • • • • • • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened 2/3 cup (140g) granulated sugar 1/4 tsp salt 2 large egg yolks 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 cups (283g) all- purpose flour (scoop and level to measure) 2 tsp GOODDAY Fresh Milk Chocolate or candy melts, optional BUTTER COOKIES Method 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter, sugar and salt until combined. 3. Mix in egg yolks and vanilla. 4. Add flour and mix until crumbly. Then, add in milk. If needed, add in another 1 - 2 tsp milk. For a more pipe-able consistency, add as little as possible for less spreading through. 5. Transfer to a 16-inch piping bag fitted with a large open star tip (smaller tips won't work for piping this thick batter). 6. Pipe dough into rounds onto two ungreased baking sheets (if you normally have issues with cookies spreading through, chill them for 30 minutes on a baking sheet before baking). 7. Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven until golden brown at the bottom for about 12 - 16 minutes. 8. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Recipe by: Jaya Mary Chrishila (KL Office)
