Start with 1/2 cup of butter in a mixing bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the butter.

Mix the ingredients for 5 to 8 minutes until the mixture is light and airy.

Fold in 1 cup of all-purpose flour using a spatula to avoid overworking the dough.

Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

To fill the piping bag, place it in a tall glass and drape the sides over the glass.

Let the filled piping bag rest for a few minutes while preparing the baking sheet.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pipe small circles of dough onto the baking sheet. If the dough is too thick to pipe, let it rest for 10 minutes or add about 1 tablespoon of milk or cream to loosen it.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 to 15 minutes, checking at the 10-minute mark for light browning around the edges.

Once done, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
