Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 375 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the dough into two portions. Flatten each portion into a disk and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thickness. Keep the other portion in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Cut out shapes using cookie cutters and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Gather scraps, reshape into a ball, re-roll, and cut out more shapes as needed.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate as desired with icing, sprinkles, or enjoy them plain!
