INGREDIENTS:
- 2 c. butter
- 1 t. salt
- 1 T. vanilla bean paste
- 1 T. butter vanilla emulsion
- 1/2 c. powdered/confectioners sugar
- 1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 4 1/2 to 6 cups of flour (depending upon altitude)
DIRECTIONS:
In electric mixer combine butter, salt, vanilla bean paste, butter vanilla emulsion, and both sugars. Mix until combined.
Add in eggs and mix until combined.
Add in one cup of flour at a time. Please note this recipe is made in Northern Utah. If your altitude is significantly lower, you may want to add less than six cups of flour. The finished dough once combined should be such that you can place in your hand without it sticking to your hands.
Roll out of lightly floured surface. I roll my cookies 3/8" thick and my baking times are based on such thickness. If your cookies are thinner, you may want to lessen that time or increase if thicker.
I like to chill my cut shapes for 15 minutes.
Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake 11 to 14 minutes (again less if thinner/more if thicker).
What is butter vanilla emulsion?
