Ingredients
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually mix in flour until a smooth dough forms.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet.
- Flatten slightly with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use softened, not melted butter for best texture.
- Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
- Dip fork in flour to prevent sticking when flattening.
- Bake just until edges are golden for a soft texture.
- Let cookies cool properly to set their crumbly structure.
