Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter that is unsalted softened
  • 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven until 350degF (175degC).
  2. A bowl is all you need to beat the softened butter with powdered sugar until it is light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add flour and mix until a dough that is soft is formed.
  4. Make small balls, then place them on baking sheets.
  5. The ball can be flattened slightly using a fork.
  6. Bake in the oven for between 10 and 12 minutes or until edges are slightly golden.
  7. Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter has been softened at temperatures that allow an easy mixing.
  • Don’t overbake them; they should only be barely golden on the edges.
  • Explore various flavor combinations by adding almond extract, vanilla extract or both to your dough.
