Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is 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 a smooth dough forms.
Lightly dust your ceramic cookie molds with flour and tap out any excess to ensure the cookie dough doesn’t stick.
Roll out dough pieces roughly to the size of your cookie molds (about 1/4 inch thick) and press them firmly into the floured molds.
Carefully release the dough from the molds by gently tapping the edges or peeling them out if the design allows.
Place the shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, the cookies can be enjoyed as is or decorated further if desired!
