- Butter: I love using European style butter in my recipes, it will make the cookie dough much creamier than regular butter.
- Flour: this recipe uses all purpose flour which is heated in the oven for a few minutes. This heat treated flour will make it safe to eat and get rid of any bacteria.
- Vanilla: because vanilla is the main flavor in this recipe, make sure to use real vanilla extract – it will make a big difference!
- Milk: I used milk in this recipe but you can substitute it with heavy cream.

Step 2: Pour the flour into a bowl and add your salt. Whisk together.
Step 3: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer, cream the butter with the sugar and confectioners’ sugar for 2-3 minutes until it is light and fluffy.
Step 4: Add your milk and vanilla and mix again briefly.
Step 5: Pour in your flour and salt mixture and use a rubber spatula to fold everything together, making sure there are no pockets of flour left.

Recipe Tips
- I make sure that all of my ingredients are at room temperature before I start the recipe, so pull out all of the ingredients about an hour or two before you start baking.
- I highly recommend using a weighing scale and measuring out your ingredients the metric way. It makes a huge difference to your baking and is the most accurate way to bake!
- Make sure to chill your cookie dough before eating. If you don’t, it may feel a bit grainy when you eat it.
