Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This will only take a couple of minutes.
Add Flour and Vanilla: Gradually add the flour to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until the dough forms a soft, cohesive mass.
