Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, I’ll cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar in my mixing bowl until it’s light and fluffy—a process that smells heavenly! Next, I add in the vanilla extract and mix just until combined. Then, it’s time to incorporate the flour and salt slowly, mixing until everything comes together to form a soft dough. Make sure not to overmix it! You want to keep that lovely, tender texture. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
