Ingredients

300 grams all-purpose flour
100 grams powdered sugar
200 grams Unsalted Butter or baking margarine (softened)
2 medium eggs
1 envelope vanilla sugar or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Chop the butter/baking margarine with powdered sugar, mix, add 1 whole egg, and one egg yolk and slowly incorporate sifted flour, little by little until a uniform dough. Wrap it in foil, put them in the fridge for at least half an hour.
Then roll out to a thickness of 3-4 mm and cut out cookies with a cookie cutter. Place on a tray lined with baking paper.
Before baking, they can be brushed with egg white left over and coated in sugar, or sprinkled with nuts ( almonds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds , coconut flakes, etc.). If you are going to frost them or glaze them then do not brush them with egg white.
Bake for about 15 minutes at 330°F until golden brown. Oven temperatures may vary.
Let the cookies cool and then decorate with glaze, frosting or as preferred. Enjoy!
