Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the flour until a soft dough forms.
  2. Roll tablespoon-sized portions into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each to about ½ inch thick with a fork or fingers.
  3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are pale golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before serving.

Notes

If the dough feels too crumbly when you mix it, knead it gently with your hands for a few seconds until it comes together. These cookies keep their shape well, so you can press them into any pattern you like before baking.
