- You’ll Need:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the entire contents of the jar and mix until a thick dough forms.
