Ingredients
1
cup
of unsalted butter
softened
1/2
cup
of sugar
2
large egg yolks
1 1/2
teaspoons
of vanilla
2
cups
of flour
1/4
tsp
of salt
Garnish:
candied cherries
nuts, colored sprinkles or colored sugars
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter 2 cookie sheets and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla until incorporated.
Gradually add the flour and salt and beat until well mixed.
Transfer batter to a pastry bag with a star tip attached.
Pipe onto sheet while nearly touching tip to pan (the batter will spread out on it own by doing this). Leave at least 1" between cookies.
Decorate with sprinkles, other decorations or chopped nuts.
Bake for 11-14 minutes or until the edges are barely brown.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
