Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened salted butter with ½ cup of confectioners' sugar. Beat on medium speed for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix on low speed for about 1 minute until well incorporated.
  4. Gradually mix in 2 cups of all-purpose flour until the dough comes together, around 2-3 minutes.

  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Lightly flatten each ball.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes until firm to the touch and lightly golden around the edges.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
