Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
- Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla extract, mixing well until combined.
- Gradually sift in the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. If you’re using chopped nuts, fold them in at this stage. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Once the dough is prepared, scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet about two inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and just lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake!
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the cookies with additional powdered sugar for that snowy finish!
