Instructions
Prepare the dough
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pro tip: Ensure the butter is at room temperature to achieve a smooth mixture.
Mix dry ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Pro tip: Avoid over-mixing to prevent tough cookies.
Chill the dough
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Pro tip: Chilling helps the dough firm up, making it easier to handle.
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the molds
Lightly dust the ceramic molds with flour to prevent sticking.
Pro tip: Tap off any excess flour from the molds.
Press and bake
Roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into pieces that fit your molds, press firmly, and trim any excess. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Pro tip: Remove the cookies from the molds once they're cool to the touch.
Tips & Tricks
- Ensure molds are well-floured to prevent sticking.
