Butter Cookies

• 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
• 1/2 cups Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 whole Egg White
• 1-1/2 cup Flour, Plus 2 Tablespoons
• Coarse Sanding Sugar, For Decoration (optional)

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
2. 2. On medium speed, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer.
3. 3. Mix in the vanilla and the egg white.
4. 4. On low, add the flour, and mix until combined.
