Vaniljekranse / Vanilla butter cookies / Danish cookies

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until well combined.

Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.

If using, fold in the chopped almonds until evenly distributed.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle.

On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe the dough into small rings or shapes as desired.

Brush the tops of the cookies with egg white for a shiny finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
