Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter - 10 tbsp 142 gram
  • Confectioners' sugar - ½ cup
  • Pure vanilla extract - ½ tsp
  • All-purpose flour - 1 ½ cups 180 gram
  • Kosher salt optional - ½ tsp

Instructions

  • Take a stand mixer that carries a paddle, add in butter and vanilla extract. Beat until a creamy texture is not formed.
  • In the beaten mixture, add sugar and salt. Mix them well to combine the ingredients.
  • Take the bowl separately and add some flour. Slowly beat the mixture.
  • Scrape the bowl again to mix the ingredients finely.
  • Knead the dough in a rectangular shape and then cover it in a plastic sheet. Cool it until it gets a little hard. It may take 1 hour.
  • Up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, preheat the oven. Use a sharp knife to cut ½ inch thick slices of the dough.
  • Take a baking sheet and stack these slices in it 1-inch distance apart. The baking sheet should be layered with butter paper.
  • By using a fork, or skewer, you can fork a pattern on the top layer.
  • Baking time is 1p minutes and after 5 minutes, you should rotate the baking sheet to some extent.
  • After baking, take out the wire sheet.
