Ingredients
- 1 pound butter
- 4 cups flour
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- powdered sugar to dust cooled cookies
Instructions
- Melt the entire pound of butter and then pour the melted butter into the bowl of your stand mixer.
Beat melted butter in stand mixer for 20 minutes. - Add in egg yolk and mix for another 10 minutes.
About this time is when you should pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. - Next, mix in the vanilla extract to the butter & egg yolk. Slowly incorporate the flour to the butter mixture.
- Shape the Greek butter cookies by measuring them out with a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon. And then roll this cookie dough with your hands until a ball forms. Gently pat the cookie and shape it until it forms an egg shape.
- Lay out the cookies onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Add the cookies to the oven and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until the cookies are slightly golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely and then sift just enough powdered sugar to lightly coat over the top of a platter. Add the cookies to the top of this platter and then sift more powdered sugar to the cookies just to lightly dust them.
- Serve and enjoy! These cookies pair really nicely with coffee, tea, and milk!
