Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

  3. Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.

  4. Gradually add the flour and salt to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.

  5. Use a cookie scoop or roll the dough into small balls about 1 inch in size. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  6. To add a decorative touch, gently press the tines of a fork into the top of each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

  8. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
