Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. The dough may be crumbly at first, but keep mixing until it comes together.
- Roll the dough into small 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Use a fork or the bottom of a glass to flatten each cookie slightly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
