Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the dough into two portions. Flatten each portion into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Keep the other portion refrigerated until ready to roll.
Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Decorate the cookies with icing, sprinkles, or other toppings as desired.
