Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Cookie cutter (optional)
  • Wire cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper, ensuring that your cookies won’t stick during the baking process.
  • Mix Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add Vanilla: Incorporate the vanilla extract into the butter mixture, blending until evenly mixed.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a different bowl, use a whisk to blend the all-purpose flour and salt together thoroughly.
  • Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Cut Out Cookies: Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut the dough into desired shapes.
  • Baking: Arrange the cookie shapes on your lined baking sheet and bake them for 10-12 minutes, or until you notice the edges turning a delicate golden brown.
  • Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  1. Chocolate Dip: Dip half of each cookie in melted chocolate for a decadent touch.
  2. Lemon Zest: Add lemon zest to the dough for a citrusy twist.
  3. Nutty Flavor: Mix in finely chopped nuts like almonds or pecans for added texture.
  4. Spice It Up: Include a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice flavor.
  5. Herbal Notes: Incorporate finely chopped fresh herbs like rosemary for an aromatic experience.
