Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Dough: In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
4. Form the Cookies: Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
5. Slice and Bake: Once chilled, slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the slices 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
6. Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
