Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect German Rocks
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Tray
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This simple step prevents sticking and ensures even baking without overly browned bottoms.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Beat until the mixture becomes pale, light, and fluffy. This process incorporates air, which is key to achieving that tender, delicate texture.
Step 3: Form the Dough
Add the vanilla extract and mix gently. Gradually incorporate the flour and salt, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Do not overmix—too much handling will develop the gluten and result in hard cookies rather than crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits.
The finished dough should feel smooth, pliable, and easy to shape.
