Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened butter until pale and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Gradually add sugar and salt while mixing. Continue beating until creamy and light.
  4. Add egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
  5. Sift flour and mix into the dough on low speed until just combined.
  6. Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
  7. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  8. Remove cookies and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for the best texture.
  • Don’t overbake; cookies continue to firm up after removing from the oven.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Optional: Add a teaspoon of almond extract for extra flavor.
