Method

Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whip the softened butter, icing sugar, salt, and vanilla paste with a whisk it very light and fluffy, for 1-2 minutes.

Pipe 2-inch rings with the dough, or shapes of your choice. Try to keep the at around the same size to ensure even baking throughout.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, rotating halfway through. Cool the cookies completely before glazing (optional) or serving.
