👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Cream the butter and sugar:

    • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).

  3. Add egg and vanilla:

    • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

  4. Mix in the dry ingredients:

    • Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture. Mix until the dough just comes together.

  5. Prepare the piping bag:

    • Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or your preferred tip). If you don’t have a piping bag, you can also use a plastic sandwich bag with the corner cut off.

  6. Pipe the cookies:

    • On the prepared baking sheets, pipe dough into your desired shapes (rosettes, straight lines, or simple swirls). Leave about 1 inch of space between each cookie.

  7. Bake:

    • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden. The tops should remain pale.

  8. Cool and decorate (optional):

    • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets. You can decorate them with colored sprinkles, drizzle with melted chocolate, or top with a small dollop of jam for extra flavor.
