Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and the powdered sugar together with an electric mixer (or stand mixer) until light and fluffy, 3 to 6 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add the flour and salt, and mix together on low until combined.
  • Press the dough into a ball and knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is very smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Roll the dough out, between 2 pieces of parchment paper, until 1/2-inch thick.
  • Cut into shapes, and place the cut cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, and cut again.
  • Score the cookies with a fork to prevent any bubbles.
  • Refrigerate the dough on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.
  • While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Sprinkle the cookies with the granulated sugar, and bake until lightly browned on the edges, about 8 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, and then move them onto a wire rack.
  • Let them cool completely before eating.
