Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

  5. Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Optionally, gently press down on the dough balls with a fork for a classic butter cookie look.

  6. Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

  7. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
