It starts by creaming the butter and sugar together. Don’t cream it as long as you would for a cake but do make sure it’s well mixed together and looks creamy.
Then you’ll add the vanilla, salt, and egg yolk. They can all go in at the same time and just mix until everything is combined.

The dough needs to be chilled for 1 to 2 hours then it’s ready to use for piped cookies, cookie press cookies, or scooped and dropped cookies.
If you want slice and bake cookies, you’ll need to shape the dough into a log and wrap in plastic wrap before chilling.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Aim for ⅛-inch thickness. Use 2 to 3-inch cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
Melt In Your Mouth Coffee Butter Cookies
Before baking the cookies I like to sprinkle coarse sugar over the top. You can also use colored sugar to make them festive for any occasion.

The cookies will continue cooking for those few minutes and they’ll set up enough for you to slide a spatula underneath to move them to a wire rack.

Yes! You can either make the dough of ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator wrapped tightly in plastic wrap up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cookie dough after piping it.

While both use mostly butter to get their taste, they are not the same. Butter cookies contain egg whereas shortbread does not. The texture is less crumbly than shortbread as well.
Chilling your dough intensifies the flavor as well as solidifies the butter. It prevents spread and makes for more flavorful cookies. Make sure to chill the dough for at least 10 minutes to make the cookies thick and hold their shape.
