Butter Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
1½ sticks (3/4 cup) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Add flour, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.

Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg until well-combined. Slowly spoon in flour mixture mixing on medium speed until well-combined, then add vanilla and mix just until combined.

Scoop cookie dough by the tablespoon onto a large baking sheet, leaving about 2-inches between each cookie.

Press down on cookie dough ball lightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass until about ½-inch thick.

Bake 10-13 minutes until lightly browned.

Cool completely.

NOTES:

For the roundest of cookies, you can roll them between your palms before dropping onto the baking sheet. Then, lightly press as directed before baking.
