- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

- Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, roll the cookies generously in the remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar until well coated.
Notes
- Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before rolling in powdered sugar so it adheres properly.
