Instructions (5 steps)

01Preheat the Oven - Position the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat to 350°F (177ºC). Line two large sheet trays with parchment paper and set aside.
02Make the Dough - Using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add salt, vanilla, and egg. Mix on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Gradually add the flour to the bowl, mixing on low speed for about 1 minute.
03Pipe the Cookies - Scrape the dough into a piping bag fitted with a 1⁄2" star tip or desired tip. Pipe 1 ½ to 2" pretzel or wreath shapes onto the parchment paper-lined sheet trays, at least 2" apart. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the cookies with granulated sugar or large coarse sparkling sugar.
