Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour for flouring the counter
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1 1/2 sticks of butter
- 3 cups of sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla
- 3 Tbs milk
Steps
- Combine the flour and salt in a small bowl. Mix with the whisk then set it aside.
- In a large bowl, add the butter and sugar. Use a fork or electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar. This process is called creaming.
- If you want to do this process easier, soften your butter to room temperature.
- After creaming, add your vanilla and egg until its well combined.
- Add the flour mixture while stirring the butter, sugar, vanilla and egg mixture until it formed a dough. When the dough becomes dry, add the milk. Don't over mix.
- Divide the dough in half. Cover each portion of the dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for an hour to avoid having a hard time making shapes and kneading the dough.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and line the cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicon cookie mat to prevent the cookie from sticking.
- Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cups of flour on an open space or the counter top.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to a {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} thickness.
- Use a cookie cutter to make cool shapes for the cookie.
- Any scraps from the dough can be pressed together and rolled out once again to form more shapes.
- Place your cookies to the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon mat and leave a {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} space beside each cookie.
- Place the cookies in the oven for 8-10 mins or the color is slightly golden brown. Watch your cookies closely to make sure they don't get too dark.
- After baking, move the cookies to a plate or baking rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy!
