Butter Cookies

Ingredients :
1 cup butter (227 gm)
3/4 cup sugar (170 gm)
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg yolk
2 cups flour (250 gm)

Method :
1.  Cream the butter and sugar.  Since I use salted butter, I did not add any salt.  Add the vanilla essence and the egg yolk.  Continue to beat till smooth.  Then add the flour till a smooth batter.
2.  Roll the batter in a cling film and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Ready for the fridge

3.  Cut the batter into about 3 mm and place them on parchment paper.

Ready for the oven

4.    Preheat the oven to 160°C.  Bake for 16 - 18 minutes.  Remove and cool.
