- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup Imperial Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cake flour*

- In bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment mix butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla together on medium speed for 5 minutes until light in color and whipped, scraping sides of bowl as necessary. Alternately you can use a bowl and a hand mixer.
- Turn mixer to low and add in flour, mixing until just combined. Dough should be smooth and soft.
- Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star attachment. Pipe dough onto prepared baking sheet in a circle or rosette shape.
- Place baking sheet in a refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill dough slightly.
- Preheat oven to 300°F and bake cookies for 18-20 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
