CYLINDER COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a mixer, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add vanilla and beat for another minute.
• Add flour and salt; mix on low until just combined. Add chocolate chips and pecans; stir to combine.
• On a piece of plastic wrap, place half of the dough and use your hands to shape the dough into a 1 3/4-inch thick log. (Note: the dough will be very crumbly and that’s perfectly fine.) Wrap the log in the plastic wrap, and repeat process with a second piece of plastic wrap and remaining cookie dough. Roll the wrapped logs on the counter to ensure that they are rounded, and refrigerate both logs for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove cookie dough from plastic and using a sharp knife, cut the logs into 1/2-thick rounds. If a round cracks or starts to break apart, simply press it back together with your fingers. Place rounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake, rotating halfway through, until the edges just begin to brown, about 14 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and confectioners' sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and egg, and beat to combine. Gradually add flour, and beat until well incorporated. Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 7/16-inch star tip (such as Ateco #825).
• Pipe 2 1/2-inch rings onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating halfway through, until lightly golden around edges but still light on top, about 20 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool completely.
