Instructions
Place the soft butter in the mixer bowl and beat until it starts to become fluffy, add vanilla and beat for a while.
Meanwhile, sift the powdered sugar. Add it to the butter one tablespoon at a time and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add flour and salt and mix until just combined.
Transfer the dough to a baking tray lined with baking paper and smooth it out thoroughly. The easiest way to do this is with your hand. The dough should be no thicker than 10-13 mm.
Place the dough in the fridge for about ½ hour to chill. At the end of the time, preheat the oven to 150℃. Cut the dough with a sharp knife into narrow rectangles or square cookies. Sprinkle with sugar to make the finished cookies even crispier. Piecz około 50-60 minut, aż stanie się delikatnie złote. Jeszcze ciepłe ciasto pokrój raz jeszcze według wcześniejszych śladów. Wyjmij z foremki i odstaw do wystygnięcia na kratce, o ile znajdziesz w sobie tyle silnej woli...
