Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 380 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 6mm (1/4 inch) thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden. Keep a close eye to avoid overbaking.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Decorate as desired or enjoy plain!
