Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt, continuing to blend until evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined and a soft dough forms.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 6
Use a round cookie cutter (or any desired shape) to cut out cookies. Re-roll the scraps and continue cutting until all the dough is used.
Step 7
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week and enjoy!
