Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• •1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• •3/4 cup granulated sugar
• •1 large egg yolk
• •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• •2 cups all-purpose flour
• •1/4 teaspoon salt
• •1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. 2Cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. 3Beat in egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. 4In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder, then fold into the butter mixture.
5. 5Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
6. 6Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are light golden brown but centers remain pale.
7. 7Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Butter cookies spread cleanly when the dough is soft enough to shape but not greasy; chill it briefly if the butter starts separating onto your hands.
