Preparation

  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
  6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness, then cut out shapes using cookie cutters.
  7. Place the cut-out cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Baking
