Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 2: Shape the Cookies
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter) and place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie, creating a classic pattern.
Step 3: Bake to Perfection
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serving & Storage Tips

- Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
