Instructions
Prepare the dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Mix the wet ingredients
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Pro tip: Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Combine wet and dry ingredients
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Pro tip: Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
Chill the dough
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Pro tip: Chilling prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Shape the cookies
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Pro tip: Dip the cookie cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
Bake the cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro tip: For soft cookies, bake just until edges are set.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra flavour, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract.
- Chill the dough to prevent spreading during baking.
- Use a cookie cutter for fun shapes.
- Decorate with sugar or icing for added festivity.
