Instructions:
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy and well combined.
. Mix until the mixture is light and fluffy, usually about 3-4 minutes.
Add Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and continue mixing until it’s fully incorporated, adding a wonderful aroma to the dough.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter and sugar, mixing on low speed until a smooth, slightly crumbly dough forms.
Shape the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to create shapes, or form small rounds by hand. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender.
Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, enjoy your delicious homemade butter shortbread cookies!
