1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (ideally European-style)
1/4 cup butter-flavoured shortening
2/3 cup vanilla sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring (optional)

Heat the oven to 350°F.

Scrape into a piping bag fitted with a 1⁄2-inch star tip and pipe 2-inch swirl or wreath shapes onto parchment paper lined baking sheets, at least 2 inches apart.
Bake until lightly golden on the bottom, about 14 to 16 minutes.
Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then remove and cool on a rack.
