Instructions
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
💡 Room temperature butter creams better
💡 Scrape bowl sides frequently
Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
💡 Don't overmix after adding egg
Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
💡 Stop when no flour streaks remain
💡 Overmixing makes tough cookies
Roll dough to 1/4 inch thick between parchment paper. Cut into shapes.
💡 Chill dough 30 min if too soft
💡 Re-roll scraps for zero waste
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
💡 Don't overbake - they firm up cooling
💡 Rotate pan halfway for even baking
