Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter
Sugar
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
Flour
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
Vanilla
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Eggs
- 2 Egg Whites
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial as it incorporates air into the dough, resulting in a lighter cookie.
- Add the Egg Whites and Vanilla: Next, add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Blend until everything is well combined and smooth in texture.
- Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Prepare the Piping Bag: Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. This will allow you to create beautiful shapes when piping the cookies onto the baking sheet.
- Pipe the Cookies: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, pipe out small rosettes or any shape you prefer, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
Notes
- Room Temperature Butter: Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
- Chill the Dough: If the dough feels too soft, refrigerate it for 30 minutes before piping.
- Experiment with Shapes: Use different piping tips to create unique designs for your cookies.
- Use Parchment Paper: Always line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Check for Doneness: Look for a light golden color as an indicator that your cookies are ready.
