Baking these classic Butter Cookies is as fun as eating them. Crisp borders, soft middle, and a simple recipe. It's hard to eat just one!
– 1 cup unsalted butter – 1 cup granulated sugar– 1 large egg room temperature– 2 teaspoon vanilla extract– 2½ cups all-purpose flour– ½ teaspoon baking powder– ½ teaspoon salt
Ingredient
Roll parchment or silicone baking mats on baking sheets. Blend melted butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl for 2-3 minutes until frothy.
1
Blend the butter-sugar mixture with the egg and vanilla essence. Stir all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
2
Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients until a smooth dough forms. Watch your mixing. Make 1-tsp dough balls.
3
You can also log and slice the dough. Place formed cookies on prepared baking pans 2 inches apart to distribute.
4
The baking sheets should be baked for 10-12 minutes until the edges are faintly brown. Before cooling on a wire rack, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes.
