Danish Butter Cookies Recipe

Any respectable Sunday should be about relaxing and chilling out, especially after a hectic week, with a unsweetened coffee had on the fly while you adjust the tie and brush your teeth… but on Sundays, on Sundays I’m easy as the song goes, and these Danish butter cookies recipe is part of the perfect breakfast.

Here we go with the ingredients:
300gr flour
200gr butter, softened
150gr sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch of salt
Optional: Lemon extract and cane sugar

In a large bowl, pour flour, sugar, salt and mix them together. Add the rest of the ingredients and start working them with an gentle hand, using your fingertips only at first. When the butter is completely amalgamated, with no lumps left, divide the dough in two three parts and give each of them the shape of a salami, and leave them in the fridge for 1 hour covered in cling film.
Now the second part of this Danish cookies recipe. Cut each salami into 1cm thick slices. Add the cane sugar to a dish and make it stick to one side only of each cookie.
Place them on a baking tray with the sugared side facing upwards, and bake at 180ºC for 10 minutes.
