Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until fully combined and forming a dough.
  4. Scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  5. Using a fork, gently press down on each ball to slightly flatten them.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges start turning golden.
  7. Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a personal twist, consider adding vanilla extract or almond extract.
