Cookie Directions

  • – Cream the soft butter with the sugar until the combination is smooth not grainy to the touch in a mixing bowl.
  • -Add egg…Continue to mix.
  • -Add the vanilla.. Continue mixing.
  • -Sift the four, baking soda, and salt together.
  • -Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture.
  • -Continue mixing to make sure all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
  • -Make the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling wrap completely covering the entire dough ball.
  • -Put in the refrigerator for about 6 hours or overnight (sometimes we only chill for 1 hour if we need o make them fast, and the recipe still holds firm).
    Check to see if the dough is firm.
  • -Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • -Pull the cookie dough out of the refrigerator and sit it out to soften up a bit.
  • – Put flour out on the cutting board, rub flour on the rolling pin (this rolling pin lets you measure the thickness of your dough), and work some flour into
    the batter. (if needed).
  • -Roll the dough out on the cutting board and using the cookie cutter begin to make your cookies. (with this cutting board/mat, we cut the cookies using the cookie cutter and remove the unwanted dough, makes for better shaped cookies)
  • -Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper. (these are pre-cut sheets and are my favorite)
  • -Using a metal spatula move the cut cookies to the parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • -Place the cookies on the baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 8 minutes.
  • -Let cool for 10 minutes before decorating
