Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) (at room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, add softened butter and sugar. Cream the butter and sugar until the butter has incorporated and the texture is airy and fluffy.

  2. 2

    Remove the dough from the fridge. For easier rolling, divide the dough in half.

  3. 3

    Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, one baking sheet at a time. If baking two baking sheets at once, set a timer for 7 minutes, swap the position of the baking trays, and flip the baking sheets front to back for even cooking. Continue baking for the remaining time.
