Ingredients
- 230 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 325 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Divide the dough into two portions and flatten each portion into a disk. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Step 7
Once chilled, lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out one disk of dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 8
Use alphabet cookie cutters to cut out letters. Place the cut-out cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
Step 9
Gather the leftover dough scraps, re-roll them, and cut out more letters until all the dough is used.
Step 10
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
