Valentine’s European butter
from France Cookies

What could be sweeter than a homemade gift baked from ingredients as pure as European butter from France, vanilla and love? These delicate cookies are sure to charm your Valentine with every bite.

STEP 1: MAKE THE DOUGH

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Mix butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add 2 egg yolks and the vanilla extract, and mix well. Add the flour and mix on low speed just until the dough starts to clump.

STEP 2: CUT THE COOKIES

Lightly flour the counter. Use your hands to shape the dough into a big ball. Sprinkle some flour on top then use a rolling pin to roll the dough out. Roll dough until it’s about 1/4″ thick. Use a medium round cookie cutter (about 2 inches) or lip of a glass to cut cookies. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to the baking sheet.

STEP 3: BRUSH AND BAKE

Beat the remaining yolk in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the cookies with the beaten egg yolk. Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, until they’re a deep golden color.

Optional: Once cookies have cooled, fine sugar can be sifted or sprinkled on top for extra decoration.
