Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter, softened Salted or unsalted, but don’t use margarine.
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar Regular white sugar.
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Not bread or cake flour.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a mixing bowl, whip the softened butter and sugar together until creamy.
  • Gently stir in the flour. Be careful not to overmix to avoid tough cookies.
  • Take spoonfuls of dough and roll them into balls.
  • Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet and flatten slightly with your fingers or a glass.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
  • Let them cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes for better handling and to reduce stickiness. Add chocolate chips, nuts, or roll in sprinkles before baking for variations. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
