Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Butter |
| 1 1/2 cups | Powdered sugar |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1 | Vanilla |
| 2 1/2 cups | Flour |
| 1 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1 tsp | Cream of tartar |
Instructions:
-
🌈 In a large bowl, start your cookie creation by creaming together the butter and powdered sugar until it becomes a lusciously light mixture.
-
💖 To this heavenly blend, add the egg and vanilla. Keep beating until the mixture reaches the pinnacle of fluffiness, creating a cloud-like texture.
-
🍃 Gently incorporate the dry ingredients – flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Stir the mixture just until all the elements are harmoniously united.
-
❄️ It’s time for a brief chill session! Pop the dough into the refrigerator to firm up. This step ensures that your cookies will hold their shape perfectly.
-
🍪 Roll out the chilled dough and cut it into your desired shapes. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet, ready to transform in the oven.
-
🔥 Bake your cookie creations for a mere 6 minutes at 350°F (175°C). The magic happens on that ungreased cookie sheet, creating a golden perfection.
-
🌬️ Allow your freshly baked cookies to cool before unleashing your inner artist. Frost and decorate with the creativity that knows no bounds.
-
🎨 Feel free to add your unique twist to these delightful cookies! Consider spreading unbaked shapes with egg white and decorating with sprinkles before baking.
-
🌰 For an extra nutty delight, incorporate 1 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work wonders, especially here in Texas). Roll the dough into 1″ balls for a nutty indulgence.
-
🍬 Looking for sweetness beyond measure? Roll the cooled cookies in a paper lunch sack with confectioner’s sugar to coat them in a snowy layer of sweetness.
-
🌰 Alternatively, toss the cookies in a paper bag with a sugar/cinnamon mixture to coat. Amp up the flavor with the addition of 1 cup of candied fruits to the dough.
-
🎨 Feeling adventurous? Divide the dough in half, color it differently, and use it as the basis for pinwheel or checkerboard cookies. Let your imagination run wild!
