Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add in the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Place the balls of dough onto the prepared baking trays, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 7
Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your G G S Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
