Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.
Step 3
Gradually stir in 1.5 cups flour until a soft dough forms. If dough is sticky, chill for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork.
Step 5
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then dust with 1/4 cup powdered sugar.
