Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and well combined.
  • Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Flatten each ball slightly with a fork or your hands.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a bit of extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract.
  • Make sure not to overbake; the cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after you remove them from the oven.
  • You can sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet finish.
