Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Use high-quality, unsalted butter for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Feel free to substitute with gluten-free flour if necessary.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and powdered sugar. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the flour to your mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Shape the Dough: Roll the dough into small balls and place them onto a baking sheet.
  5. Flatten with Fork: Gently press down each ball with a fork to create a slight indentation.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let them cool on the baking sheet before enjoying.

Notes

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them with parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Consider adding a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of salt to the dough for extra flavor.
