INSTRUCTIONS

1 Preheat oven to 375°F. Beat butter and confectioners’ sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and Vanilla Bean Paste; mix well. Gradually beat in flour on low speed, mixing just until blended.
2 Transfer dough to pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe dough into 2-inch circles about 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle cookies with granulated sugar. Refrigerate dough on baking sheet 15 minutes.
3 Remove baking sheet from refrigerator. Bake cookies 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks; cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
4 Test Kitchen Tips:
•Don’t have a pastry bag, use a large resealable plastic bag to pipe dough onto cookie sheets instead.
•Refrigerating dough after piping allows the butter to harden slightly, so that cookies hold their shape during baking.
