If you're craving some delicious butter cookies and want to know how to make them, look no further! With this easy and simple recipe, you can make mouthwatering butter cookies right in your own kitchen. With a few basic ingredients and some simple steps, you'll have a batch of these classic treats in no time.

To begin making these butter cookies, gather the ingredients you'll need. You'll want to have butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. It's also a good idea to preheat your oven to ensure it's ready when you need it.

Once you have everything ready, it's time to start making your dough.

Begin by creaming the butter and powdered sugar together in a large bowl until it's light and fluffy. This step is important as it helps create a nice texture for your cookies.

Next, add in the vanilla extract and salt, and mix everything well. Gradually add in the all-purpose flour while continuing to mix. You'll want to mix until the dough comes together and forms a smooth consistency. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your cookies tough.

Now it's time to shape your cookies. Take small portions of dough and roll them into small balls or any other desired shape. Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

After placing the cookies on the sheet, you can use a fork to create a decorative pattern on top of each cookie. This step is optional but adds a nice touch to the final presentation.
