Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Can substitute with margarine.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with a gluten-free flour blend.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and powdered sugar. Beat the mixture for about 2-3 minutes until light, creamy, and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully combined.
  5. If needed, use your hands to knead the dough until it reaches a soft, pliable consistency.
  6. Shape your cookies as desired—scoop, roll, or use cookie cutters for fun shapes.
Baking
