These soft and chewy cookies are coated in powdered sugar to create a delightful wintery treat.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar, for coating
Instructions:
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the wet ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Chill the dough: Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
- Shape the cookies: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
- Bake the cookies: Place the cookie balls on ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between them. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Coat in powdered sugar: While the cookies are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar to coat. Let cool completely before storing.
