Step-by-Step Instructions
1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while I prepare the cookie dough. In a large mixing bowl, I cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This is one of my favorite parts because the airy texture brings such a delightful feeling when you whip it! After it’s well mixed, I add in the vanilla extract, giving it that personal touch. It smells scrumptious already! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
