Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Start by creaming softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, creating a smooth and glossy base.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until all the flour is incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
  4. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. This step helps the dough firm up, making it easier to roll and preventing excessive spreading during baking.
  5. Shape and Bake: Roll the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to shape your cookies and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden brown.

Notes

  • Ensure butter and egg are at room temperature for smooth creaming and better dough consistency.
  • Mix the dough just until combined to keep cookies soft and tender.
  • Roll dough evenly for consistent baking and perfect texture throughout.
  • Refrigerate the dough for at least an hour to prevent spreading and maintain shape.
  • Remove cookies as soon as edges begin to brown to avoid overbaking and dryness.
