Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough will be soft but should hold together well.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chef's Tips:
• For a softer cookie, reduce baking time by 1-2 minutes
• Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough cookies
• Serve with a glass of milk for the ultimate treat
Food Safety:
• Ensure butter is softened to room temperature to avoid uneven mixing
• Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness
