Instructions:
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C. Next, line a baking tray with parchment paper then set it aside.
Step 2:
In a large bowl, put 1 cup of softened butter. Next, sift the powdered sugar into the bowl to remove some lumps. Beat them well until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 3:
Add the flour in two batches. Mix until combined. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of flour if the dough is too soft.
Step 4:
Shape the cookies. There are 2 ways to do this: (1) Shape the dough into a disk form then wrap it in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and refrigerate for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove it from the fridge and roll out the dough into 1/4-inch thick. Next, cut it into your desired shape. It could be round, heart or rectangle. (2) Make the dough into a log shape, wrap it using plastic wrap and freeze for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, unwrap the dough and slice it into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Step 5:
Place the cookies on the baking tray and put them inside the oven. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until slightly golden.
Step 6:
Once done baking, let it cool. You can coat it with sugar if you desire. Serve and enjoy!
