Cut the butter into chunks and microwave for about 20 to 30 seconds until softened but not melted.
Crack the egg and place the yolk in a small bowl, then add to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until combined.
Add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt, then mix on low speed until the dough comes together.
If the dough is too stiff, add 1 tbsp warm water and mix until soft and pipeable.
Transfer the dough into a piping bag and pipe onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
Chill the tray in the freezer or fridge until the dough is solidified.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the cookies for about 10 to 15 minutes until pale golden.
Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for at least 20 minutes before removing.
