Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, not sifted
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (also called confectioners' sugar)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats; set aside.
  • In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Mix on medium speed until completely combined and a soft dough forms. The mixture will look dry and crumbly at first, but let the mixer keep running for a few minutes and the dough will eventually form into a soft ball.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly-floured surface (to about ¼-inch thickness, or slightly thicker).
  • Use cookie cutters, biscuit cutters, or a sharp knife to cut out desired shapes. Place shapes on prepared baking sheets. Pierce with a fork.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until just lightly browned.
  • Cool on a wire rack.
