White Chocolate Meltaways

By LisaMK

This recipe is from Family Circle. The kids love it! It calls for a cookie press, but I do it by hand. The original recipe makes cookie sandwiches; I make single cookies. Takes a while to make the shape of the cookie, but worth it.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temp.
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• Pinch salt
• 2 tsps vanilla extract
