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