Ingredients

1 1/2 sticks cold butter cut into small pieces (if you use unsalted butter add a little

2 cups organic flour

1/2 cup organic sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Using your fingers, combine all the ingredients to make a uniform dough. If it seems a little dry (like mine was) add in a TSP of cold water until it is the correct dough consistency.

Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness – I was in a place with no rolling pin when I was making these so I used a wine bottle, it works really well if you are in a pinch!

Cut them into circles – I used a shot glass and that was actually the perfect size! They were either 1 big bite or 2 little ones, just enough at one time.

Don’t forget to keep using your scraps to make more cookies.

Bake the cookies at 350º F for 10-15 minutes on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

When the cookies are cool, spread with 1 TBSP dulce de leche. If you want, sprinkle with either pink himalaya salt or sea salt. Enjoy!
