Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Dough: In a bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing for a tender texture.
  4. Shape Cookies: Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls and slightly flatten. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  6. Optional Decoration: Dust cooled cookies with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for added elegance.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Butter cookie dough can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated. Shape and bake when ready to serve.
  • Customizing the Flavor: Add a hint of lemon zest or almond extract for extra flavor. Sprinkle with colored sugar for festive occasions.
  • Serving Suggestions: Perfect for afternoon tea, holiday gatherings, or a simple snack. Pair with hot chocolate, coffee, or tea.
  • Storage Tips: Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Freeze dough or baked cookies for up to 2 months.
