Ingredients:
8 Tbsp. butter, softened
⅓ cup of sugar
1 large egg
1 pinch of salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Tools:
Mixing bowl
Rolling pin
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Plastic wrap
Wooden spoon
Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl. Work those arms!
Gently stir in your egg
Add in the all-purpose flour and salt. You’ll know your cookie dough is ready when it sticks together enough to make a ball with your hands. Be careful not to overwork your dough!
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes, or up to two days to firm the dough enough for you to roll it.
Preheat your oven to 350° F
Sprinkle your table or counter lightly with flour – not too much!
Roll out your dough with the rolling pin and use a cookie cutter or a cup to make as many cookies as you’d like.
Place the cookies on the parchment paper on your baking sheet.
Put them in the oven and let bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool for a few minutes (if you can!), then enjoy!
