Scale
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • Optional coarse sugar for rolling
  • Add-ins as desired (e.g., chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, freeze-dried raspberries)

Instructions

  3. Gradually mix in the flour and salt on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in any desired add-ins.
  5. Roll the dough into logs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 4 hours.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Slice the chilled logs into individual cookies and place on the baking sheets. Roll edges in coarse sugar if desired.
  8. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until lightly brown around the edges.
  9. Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. If desired, dip or drizzle with melted chocolate and add toppings for decoration.

Notes
