EQUIPMENT
- Mixing bowls
- Mixer or Electric
- Rolling Pin
- Cookie cutters (optional)
- Baking sheet
- Silicon baking mat
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup butter that is unsalted and softened
- 1/2 cup of sugar granulated
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups flour that is all-purpose
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- The oven should be heated to 350 degrees F (175degC) and then line your baking pan with parchment or a baking mat made of silicone.
- A mixing bowl mix together the softened butter with the granulated sugar until fluffy and light.
- Mix in vanilla extract and egg until it is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the whole-purpose flour and salt.
- Add your dry ingredients to the wet, blending until a soft dough forms.
- If you wish, roll this dough over a surface that is lightly floured to a thickness of about 1/4 inch using cookie cutters and cut designs.
- Place the cookies on the baking sheet that you have prepared and space them 1 inch from each other.
- Alternately, you can cut the dough into smaller balls and then make them flat using the palm of your hand to make traditional sweet sugar round cookies.
- Bake in the oven for 8-10 mins, to ensure that the edges of your cake are slightly golden.
- After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to sit on the cooling sheet for five minutes before moving them to an aluminum cooling rack wired to completely cool.
- Decorate the cookies after cooling with sprinkles, icing or simply enjoy them as is.
