Ingredients:
🔸 2 and 1/2 sticks (1 and 1/4 cups) butter
🔸 2 eggs
🔸 5 cups all-purpose flour
🔸 1 cup granulated sugar
🔸 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Preparation Steps:
1️⃣ Blend Wet Ingredients: Start by placing the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat everything together using electric mixers until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
2️⃣ Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the flour to your wet mixture, beating continuously. The dough will thicken as you mix.
3️⃣ Knead the Dough: Once the dough becomes too thick to beat, switch to kneading it with your hands on a lightly floured surface. Add a bit more flour if the dough sticks to your hands.
4️⃣ Preheat Oven: Turn on your oven and preheat it to 350°F (180°C), getting it ready for baking the cookies.
5️⃣ Roll Out Dough: Flour a flat surface, such as a kitchen counter or wooden board. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to your desired thickness for the cookies.
6️⃣ Cut Out Cookies: Use cookie cutters to shape the dough into cookies. Place them on a baking tray, leaving some space between each cookie.
7️⃣ Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. For even baking, consider flipping the cookies halfway through.
8️⃣ Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool down a bit after baking. Then, they’re ready to enjoy!
