Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup confectioners sugar, sifted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Sift together flour and salt in a bowl.
  • Put butter into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and creamy.
  • Mix in confectioners sugar.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Mix in vanilla.
  • Fold in flour mixture.
  • Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch plain round tip (such as Ateco #802).
  • Pipe 2 3/4-inch lengths about 3/8 inch wide (the ends should be slightly wider than the center) onto baking sheets lined with parchment, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  • (Batter should be refrigerated if not being used immediately.)
  • Bake until just golden around edges, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.
  • Let cool on sheets 3 minutes.
  • Transfer to wire racks; let cool completely.
  • Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.
  • Use a pastry bag fitted with a plain round tip to pipe lengths of batter in rows; squeeze a bit of extra dough on the ends of each, so that the ends are slightly wider than the centers.
