Directions

• Heat the oven to 350°F.
• Using a mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 1 minute.
• Add salt, vanilla and egg to the butter mixture. Mix on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Gradually add the flour into the bowl, mixing on low speed until cookie dough is just mixed, about 1 minute.
• Line two large sheet trays with parchment paper. Scrape the dough into a piping bag fitted with a 1⁄2-inch star tip. Pipe 1 1/2 to 2-inch pretzel or wreath shapes onto the parchment paper lined sheet trays, at least 2 inches apart. Sprinkle tops of cookies with granulated sugar or large coarse sparkling sugar if desired. Bake until lightly golden on the bottom, about 11 to 13 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes, remove and cool on a baking rack. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for 5 days.
