📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Butter (Salted, Room temperature)1.5 cups
2
Add flour and mix until just combined. The cookie dough will be very soft and crumbly. That's the way it's supposed to be!
3
Now, you have 2 options: 1) Spread mixture on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper. Poke decorative holes with a fork and bake OR 2) Make cut out shapes like I did by kneading the dough a little and then rolling it between 2 sheets of wax paper. Then, use cookie cutters (like a small rectangle cutter) to cut out shapes. Use a spatula to gently pick them up and place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper and bake.
4
Bake at 325 degrees for 12 to ⏱️ 15 minutes or until edges are firm and slightly golden brown.
5
If you went through option 1, remove tray from oven and quickly use a sharp knife to cut rectangle slices. Let the cookies cool down completely then remove from tray and enjoy. If you went through option 2, remove tray from oven and allow the cookies to cool down. Then, enjoy!
