In a large bowl, whip the softened butter and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy.
2. Add Egg Yolk and Vanilla
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
3. Add Sugar
Add the caster sugar and continue whipping until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
4. Incorporate the Flour
Sift in the cake flour. Gently fold with a spatula until the dough just comes together—do not overmix.
5. Prepare for Piping
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip. Tip: If the dough feels too stiff to pipe:
Add ½ tsp of water at a time and mix gently, or
Microwave a small portion for 5–7 seconds and mix it back in.
6. Pipe the Cookies
Pipe small rounds onto a parchment lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
7. Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (fan) for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Lower temperature (140–145°C): cookies will spread more and have a softer texture.
Higher temperature (155–160°C): cookies will hold their shape better with defined edges.
8. Cool and Decorate (optional)
Allow the cookies to cool. Decorate with chocolate and sprinkles. Tip: For a more polished result, you can bake on one day and decorate the next.May these cookies bring a little sweetness to your day and warmth to your home إن شاء الله.صحة وعافية !
