How This Recipe Was Formed
This recipe was formed from memory, tradition, and love. Grandma didn’t measure with cups — she measured with experience. Over time, the recipe was written down so future generations could recreate that same joy, bite after bite.
Ingredients 🧈🍪
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional: sprinkles, sugar crystals, or melted chocolate for topping

- Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Pipe or roll dough into small shapes and place on the baking tray.
- Decorate if desired.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
