Ingredients:
1cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4cups all-purpose flour
extra powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add flavorings: Mix in the vanilla extract and salt.
Combine ingredients: Gradually add the flour, mixing just until the dough comes together.
Shape and bake: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions, roll into balls, flatten slightly, and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden.
Cool and serve: Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
