Additional 2 tablespoon sugar

  • In a mixing bowl, add room-temperature salted butter.

  • “Add vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar.”
  • Sift all-purpose flour into the creamed butter-sugar mixture and mix gently with a spatula or with an electric hand beater on a low speed.
  • The cookie dough should have a consistency similar to a rolling ball, as shown in the picture.
  • Using a fork, gently press it to form an impression. This is one design I made.
  • Another design was created using a strainer. We can make any design you wish.
  • The designed cookie dough is ready to bake. Preheat oven to 170* C.
