2 1/4 cup flour
Glaze Ingredients
3 cups powdered sugar
3 tbsp. light corn syrup
4 tbsp. almond milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, cream butter. Add sugar and mix until butter and sugar are light and fluffy. Add vanilla and salt. Mix until combined. Add egg and mix. Gradually, add the flour. Mix until well-incorporated.
3. Roll into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
