Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- ½ cup sifted confectioner’s sugar plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Sift flour and salt together in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat butter, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until light and fluffy. Work in dry ingredients, gradually, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pinch off small pieces of dough, and roll gently between the palms of your hands to form balls 1 inch in diameter. Place dough balls 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown.
- Place freshly baked cookies on a rack over waxed paper (or I like to put my cooling rack on top of another cookie sheet).
- Allow cookies to cool slightly and sprinkle lightly with confectioner’s sugar. Then, cool the cookies completely and sprinkle generously with confectioner’s sugar.
