Vanilla Thins Recipe

  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Beat butter, sugar, and salt with an electric mixer at moderately high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and mix at low speed until just combined. Add flour and mix until just combined.
  3. Drop level teaspoons of batter about 3 inches apart on buttered baking sheets. Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until just golden around edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool on baking sheet on a rack 1 minute, then transfer with a metal spatula to rack to cool completely.
