Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles or colored sugar, for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the dough to firm up.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters of your choice to cut out shapes.
  7. Place the cut-out shapes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the cookies with colored sugar or sprinkles for added decoration and flavor.
  9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once completely cooled, store the butter crisps in an airtight container to maintain their crispness and freshness.
