Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.

Mix in flour and salt just until combined—don’t overmix.

Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet. Slightly flatten with your fingers or a fork.

Sprinkle tops with colored sugar (if using).

Bake 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.

Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
