Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Gradually stir in 1.5 cups flour until a soft dough forms. If dough is sticky, chill for 10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork.

  5. 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.
