Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a tray with baking paper.
Beat the softened butter with the icing sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg yolk, vanilla and salt, then gently knead in the flour until you have a uniform dough.
Shape into small balls, flatten them slightly and place them on the tray, spaced apart.
To give them a petal shape, press the centre with the back of a spoon and mark radiating lines.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are just golden. Let them cool on the tray before tasting.
