INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup butter, softened (equivalent to 2 sticks)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until smooth. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. (The dough may be crumbly at first, but keep mixing until it comes together.)
- Gather the dough into a ball. On a floured or powdered-sugar-dusted surface, roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness using a well-dusted rolling pin. Cut out rounds and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat as needed with the remaining dough.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the cookies are a light golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheets.
- Enjoy your cookies!
