Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
  3. Shape Cookies: Roll small portions of dough into mini balls (about 1 teaspoon each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Press lightly with a fork for a decorative touch.
  4. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  5. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

  • You can enhance the flavor by adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt.
  • For a fun twist, drizzle melted chocolate or sprinkle powdered sugar over the cookies once they cool.
