Butter Cookies

Image
I found this recipe on allrecipes.com. They were very tasty. I made them into sandwiches with melted chocolate between the two cookies. 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened 1 cup white sugar 2 egg yolks 2 tablespoons water 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 pinch salt 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 egg whites 2 tablespoons water Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolks, 2 tablespoons water, flour, salt and vanilla. Chill the dough. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Fill the cookie press and shape the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the top of each cookie with the egg whites mixed with 2 tablespoons of the water. Decorate as desired. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) until the cookies are golden brown on top, about 10 minutes.
