Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line two lightly colored baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and flour. Mix slowly until a crumbly dough forms. It will look like crumbs in the stand mixer, but when squeezed together in your hands will hold its shape.
Form dough into a ball and roll between parchment paper to 1/3-1/2 inch thick. Cut into small 3-inch circles (or any shape desired) and place onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies are barely golden brown.
Cool 5 minutes on hot baking trays before transferring to cooling racks.
Store in airtight containers for up to 5 days.
