Ingredients
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened but not melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together egg, butter, and sugar until very well combined. Add flour and vanilla, mix until a thick dough forms. Turn ¼ of the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll to ½” thick for cookies or cookie pops, and roll to ¼” or 1/8” thick if using Sweet Creations letter cookie cutters. Place the parchment with rolled cookie dough in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. Cut dough into desired shapes. Transfer cut cookies to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven, 10-14 minutes for large cookies, 8-11 minutes for medium cookies, and 3-5 minutes for very small cookies and Sweet Creations cookie letters.
