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

  1. Combine the flour and salt in a small bowl. Mix with the whisk then set it aside.
  2. 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.
  3. After creaming, add your vanilla and egg until its well combined.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and line the cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicon cookie mat to prevent the cookie from sticking.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cups of flour on an open space or the counter top.
  8. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to a {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} thickness.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. After baking, move the cookies to a plate or baking rack to cool completely.
  13. Enjoy!
