Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then gradually mix in 2 cups flour until a soft dough forms.

  4. Step 4

    Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until edges are lightly golden, 12-15 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Let cool for 5 minutes, then roll warm cookies in remaining 1 cup powdered sugar until coated. Cool completely and roll again if desired.
