Ingredients
 

  • 150 g (0.7 cups) butter room temperature
  • 1 (1) egg
  • 100 g (0.5 cups) sugar
  • 1 (1) package bourbon vanilla sugar
  • 1 pinch (1 pinch) of salt
  • 250 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Beat the butter for two minutes in a kitchen machine.
  • Add the egg, sugar, bourbon vanilla sugar and salt and beat until pale.
  • Stir in the flour until you have a smooth dough.
  • Form the dough on a well-floured working surface to a long roll with a diameter of 5cm/2in. Wrap the roll in a baking paper and let it chill for one hour in the fridge. Cooling the dough makes it easier to cut it later.
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C/390°F (conventional).
  • Place your chilled dough-roll on a cutting board and cut about 1cm/0.4in thick cookies. Put them on a with baking paper lined baking sheet. The cookies should have enough space. Therefore it's better to use two baking sheets.
  • Bake your cookies for 10 minutes in the middle of the preheated oven. If you use two baking sheets, bake one after the other.
  • Let them cool down on a cooling rack.
  • You can store your butter cookies with the pastel glaze up to one week in a cookie box.
