Danish Salted Butter Cookies
Notes
Using chilled butter and freezing the cookies before baking encourages clean, tidy edges. While these could be made with a pair of concentric cookie cutters, cutting the cookie shape is much easier with a 3-inch-diameter and a 1½-inch-diameter fluted cookie cutter.

- 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled salted butter, cut into pieces
