Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add flour and continue to mix until mixture forms a soft dough (it will be crumbly at first, but keep mixing and it will form a dough). Form dough into a cohesive ball with your hands.

Step 3

Roll dough 1/4-inch thick on a surface dusted with flour or powdered sugar* with a well-dusted rolling pin. Cut into rounds and place on prepared baking sheets. Repeat as necessary.

Step 4

Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until cookies are pale golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets.

Step 5

Enjoy!
