French Butter Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup turbinado sugar (unrefined) or 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Preparation

Cream butter and brown sugar with electric mixer equipped with paddle attachment, if you have one.
Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
Add flour and salt and mix on low speed until incorporated.
Roll dough into three 1 1/2\" logs, wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0 and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Roll logs in turbinado or granulated sugar, making sure to coat them evenly.
Slice logs into 1/4\" thick cookies and place on cookie sheet 1\" apart.
Use a skewer or toothpick to make four decorative holes in each cookie, making the cookie appear to be a button.
Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Cool on wire rack.
