Crisp Vanilla Butter Cookies

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla powder, such as Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup chocolate pieces

 Directions

Cream the butter, confectioners sugar and vanilla powder in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed. Add the eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt on low speed until just blended. Place the dough on parchment paper and shape into a 12-inch long log. Chill for 3 to 24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an insulated cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Cut the dough log into ΒΌ-inch-thick slices and place on the cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Place the cooled cookies on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.

Place the chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on High for 15 seconds. Repeat at 5-second intervals, stirring and checking the consistency. The chocolate is ready when it freely drips from the spoon in a fine line. Spoon the chocolate into a large plastic food storage bag. Twist the bag until the chocolate is in one corner and then trim the tip of the bag. Drizzle the chocolate over the cookies.
