Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups 2 cups all-purpose flour

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness and cut into shapes using cookie cutters.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Cool on a wire rack before decorating.

Notes

Add vanilla extract for extra flavor. Sprinkle with colored sugar before baking for a festive touch. Use almond extract for a nutty twist. Serve warm with a glass of milk or coffee. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Freeze dough for up to 3 months for quick baking later.
