Step-by-Step Instructions for Danish Butter Cookies
- Prep your space by clearing room in the refrigerator for cookies to chill and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the soft European salted butter in a stand mixer at medium speed until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and salt, mixing until fluffy and light.
- With the mixer on low, add egg yolks, vanilla extract, and whole milk to the mixture, mixing until well combined and smooth.
- Whisk together all-purpose flour and cake flour in a separate bowl, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Transfer dough to a piping bag with a star tip, and pipe 2-inch circles on lined baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
- Chill the piped cookies in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, then bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
