Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup unsalted butter (softened, at room temperature)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg yolk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
Incorporate the egg yolk into the butter-sugar mixture until fully combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture on low speed until just incorporated.
Form small balls of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
