Best Butter Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup turbinado sugar, for coating
  • ¼ tsp Superior Flavors Butter

Directions

  1. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in one bowl.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with paddle, cream room-temperature butter with granulated sugar on high speed for 2 minutes; scrape bowl halfway through.
  3. Mix in egg yolk and vanilla on medium. Add ¼ tsp Superior Flavors Butter. Incorporate half the dry mix on low, scrape bowl, and add the rest.
  4. Chill dough for 1 hour for scoopable cookies. Alternatively roll into a 1-inch-diameter log and chill for slicing.
  5. Heat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment.
  6. For drop cookies, scoop tablespoon portions, coat their tops in turbinado sugar, and arrange spaced apart. For slices, cut the log ½ inch thick and press each top into the sugar.
  7. Bake approximately 15 minutes until cookies puff slightly and turn faintly golden underneath. Cool before storing.
