How to Make Susan Branch's Butter Cookies The Best Really
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large egg yolks and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are very lightly golden. Do not overbake.
- Remove cookies from baking sheets while still warm and cool completely on wire racks.
- For optional chocolate-covered cookies:
- Roll a portion of the dough into a log about 1 inch in diameter. Wrap tightly in wax paper and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, roll the log in semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
