Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Consider adding a pinch of salt for enhanced flavor or mixing in vanilla extract for an aromatic touch.
