Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until creamy. Mix in vanilla and egg white. Reduce speed to low. Add salt and flour; mix until combined.
  • Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls. Roll each ball into a 6-inch log. Bend log in half, then twist. Space 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake, rotating halfway through, until cookies just begin to turn golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on parchment on wire racks.
