3/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened

2 vanilla beans

1 large Land O Lakes® Egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Water

How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Combine 1 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in bowl. Spread onto waxed paper-lined baking sheet; let stand 4 hours or until dry. Sift sugar mixture through strainer to remove lumps. Set aside.

  2. STEP 2

    Heat oven to 375°F.

  3. STEP 3

    Combine 1 cup sugar and 3/4 cup butter in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy.

  4. STEP 4

    Split vanilla beans lengthwise with sharp knife. Scrape seeds from vanilla beans; add to butter mixture. Add egg; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour, baking powder and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed.

  5. STEP 5

    Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Dip top of each ball in water, then into vanilla sugar. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-14 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned.

Tip #1

- After scraping seeds from vanilla bean, add empty vanilla bean pod to 2 cups sugar. Cover; store at room temperature in container with tight-fitting lid. Vanilla sugar made with vanilla extract or vanilla bean can be used for baking or sprinkled on fresh fruit, yogurt or in tea.

Tip #2

- Vanilla sugar can be stored after drying in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
