Vanilla Bean Cookies :O

Hello again fellow bakers, Maid Mari is back with more baking shenanigans! I found some vanilla bean paste at the grocery store and of course my first thought was: "That would make an awesome cookie"....

This recipe is another super easy one, so let's get to it! ｡: ﾟ૮ ˶ˆ ﻌ ˆ˶ ა ﾟ: ｡

Today’s recipe: Vanilla Bean Cookies!

Ingredients:

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ~1 tbsp vanilla bean paste (more or less, depending on your preference)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375∘.

2. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside.

3. Combine the butter and sugar until fluffy (it should look like wet sand, try not to overmix

this step or the cookies will come out a weird, cakey texture).

4. Add the eggs and mix until well combined.

5. Add in the vanilla bean paste. I added around 2 tbsp for a strong vanilla flavor.

6. Add in the flour mixture until it forms a tacky dough.

7. Form balls of cookie dough, around 1/8 cup, or 2 tbsp.

8. Bake for 8-12 minutes. The time it takes will depend of the material of your baking sheet.

9. Enjoy!

Kermit wants one!
