Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup turbinado, (unrefined) or granulated sugar

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and light-brown sugar; beat on high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, and mix to combine. Add flour and salt, and mix on low speed until flour is incorporated.
  • Roll dough into three 1 1/2-inch-diameter logs. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat. Roll cookie log in sugar, coating it evenly, and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Place cookies on baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Using a cake tester or toothpick, make 4 decorative holes in each cookie. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool completely on wire racks.

These cookies are okay, but I've had better. I probably won't make them again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but these cookies turned out terrible. I won't be making them again.

These cookies were a disaster. They were dry and crumbly, and they tasted like nothing.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as I hoped. Maybe I'll try again sometime.
