- Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract (or lemon zest if you prefer a hint of citrus) and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour and salt to the mixture, blending until you get a soft, smooth dough.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Divide the dough into small balls (about a tablespoon each).
- Place each dough ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and gently press down to flatten slightly with a fork or spoon.
- Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve them as is, or sprinkle with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness!
Tips
- Store in an airtight container to keep the cookies fresh and buttery.
- For a chocolate twist, dip half of each cookie in melted dark chocolate and let it set.
