Ingredients
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed after each addition, until a soft dough is formed.
Step 5
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon to form a disc shape.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just lightly golden. Do not overbake—they should remain pale in color.
Step 8
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once the cookies are completely cool, lightly sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving.
