Cream cookies, beloved for their buttery richness and crumbly texture, are a timeless treat. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to perfect them at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions:
1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes). This ensures a tender texture.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in egg yolk and vanilla until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk flour and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
4. Chill (Optional): For easier handling, refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
5. Shape and Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into 1-inch balls, place on a baking sheet, and flatten slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden.
6. Cool: Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Variations: Add chocolate chips, nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt before baking for extra flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy these melt-in-your-mouth cookies with tea or coffee!
