Step-by-Step Instructions for Soft Butter Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until the dough forms large crumbles, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add milk to achieve the right dough consistency, starting with 2 tablespoons.
- Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Pipe the dough into rosette shapes on the prepared trays, leaving space for expansion.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes until edges are golden. The center should remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on trays for about 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
