Danish Butter Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    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)
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation
    Heat the oven to 350\u00b0F.
    Beat together the butter, shortening, sugar, and extracts until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
    Add the flour, milk, and salt and beat on low speed until just combined.
    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.
