Instructions

1. 1

   Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).

   • 💡Room temperature butter creams better
   • 💡Scrape bowl sides frequently
2. 2

   Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

   • 💡Don't overmix after adding egg
3. 3

   Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.

   • 💡Stop when no flour streaks remain
   • 💡Overmixing makes tough cookies
4. 4

   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
5. 5

   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
