Ingredients:

• 1 cup salted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup super fine sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, add 1 cup of softened salted butter and 1/2 cup super fine sugar. Whisk using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. You can add some vanilla extract at this stage (optional). Once done, gradually sift 2 cups of all-purpose flour onto the mixture, then continue whisking until crumbly. After this, switch to a spatula and fold the mixture a few times to form the dough.

Step 2

Now, transfer the dough to your working surface and roll it into a disk shape. Wrap it with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes. After refrigerating, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch, then cut the dough into desired shapes using some cookie cutters. After this, grease your baking pan, line it with parchment paper, then transfer the cookies onto it. Place the baking pan in the preheated 350-degree F oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. After baking, remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies cool for ten minutes. Share and enjoy!
