Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 g) butter, softened and slightly melted
- 1 cup (118 g) powdered sugar
- 2 cups (256 g) all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture turns light and fluffy. It should resemble whipped cream.
- Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring in at low speed until fully combined. The dough will be crumbly at first, but it will eventually form a thick, soft dough.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip. Pipe the dough into desired shapes, spacing about 1 inch apart.
- Chill the piped dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.
- Bake one tray at a time in the middle of the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges and surface turn lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- You can roll the dough into small balls and flatten them with a fork if you don’t want to pipe the dough.
- For added flavor, consider incorporating vanilla or almond extract.
- If you’d like, decorate the cookies with powdered sugar, sprinkles, or a light glaze after baking.
