SOFT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line cookie trays with parchment (if the air temp is on the warmer side, it is a good idea to chill the cookies for 30 minutes before baking, so be sure to plan accordingly).
• In a large bowl, cream the butter & sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer.
• Add the egg yolks and vanilla and mix on medium speed until well combined.
• Next, add the flour & salt to the mixture and mix on low speed until large crumbles form.
• Add the 2 tablespoons of milk and mix until the milk is absorbed. If the dough is not sticky, add another TEASPOON of milk until it is sticky and has the consistency of thick buttercream. Avoid using too much milk as this can cause the cookies to spread too much!
• Transfer the dough to an extra large, heavy duty piping bag fitted with a large open star tip.
• Pipe the dough into rosettes by using the following motion; holding the bag upright, pipe the dough onto the tray and pull up slightly, then wrap around the center and pull gently to release.
• Chill if needed.
• Bake in the oven until light golden brown on the edges, about 13 - 15 minutes.

• In a large bowl cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla until blended.
• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined (do not over mix). Roll dough into balls (two regular size cookie scoops or about 3 tablespoons, the balls should be fairly big - this is the key to a super soft texture!)

• Bake for 8-9 minutes - DO NOT OVER BAKE. The cookies should just begin to crack on top. Allow to cool 1-2 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days (they are softest on day 1 and 2!).
