Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and line my baking sheet with parchment paper—this helps the cookies not stick and makes cleanup a breeze. In a mixing bowl, I cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until it’s light and fluffy. The key to this step is not to rush; it usually takes about 2-3 minutes. The sweet, buttery aroma is undeniably inviting! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
