Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 10 ounces (2 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Pinch salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
- In a stand mixer, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt.
- Using the paddle attachment, mix the ingredients on low speed until combined.
- Add the vanilla. Mix until the dough is smooth and comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface.
- Divide into two pieces. On the edge of a piece of parchment or waxed paper, shape the dough into a log, and carefully roll up until the paper ends, folding the outside corners into the log. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
- Remove the rolled logs, unwrap, and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
- Transfer to ungreased cookie sheets and bake until golden on the edges, about 25 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool for 15 to 20 minutes before handling.
