Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use mini cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can decorate these cookies with frosting or sprinkles once they have cooled completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
