Danish Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

230 g butter at room temperature
100 g powdered sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Get the butter out of the refrigerator at least an hour before baking.
Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla extract for 5 to 8 minutes until light in color and fluffy in texture.

Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and roll it to form a log. Cut a hole in one end of the plastic wrap and place it into a piping bag fitted with a flower tipped nozzle.

Pipe the dough onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Or you can simply roll out small portions of dough and press down using a fork. Refrigerate the shaped dough for 30 minutes before baking.

Sprinkle sugar over the cookies before baking if preferred.

Bake in a preheated oven of 160°C for 15 minutes, until the edges begin to turn a golden color.
