Classic Butter Cookies

So I got bored and hungry and wanted something to bake and eat except I don't have all the ingredients to most of the recipes that I keep with me. I remembered there's an awful lot of butter left in our refrigerator that's why I thought I'd search for anything that I can do with butter. Aaand yes, butter cookies is what came to my mind! I am fond of looking into recipes and other stuff on Pinterest (follow me: mimigrutas). I search for different kinds of recipes there and so I did look for butter cookies and came around with this basic butter cookies recipe from Robyn Stone (addapinch.com). 

What is nice about this recipe is that it's super easy to make and you can find all the ingredients in your kitchen pantry. And who wouldn't love a classic butter cookie just because? :)
I tried it today, and here are the results:

I sprinkled a bit of Coco powder in it to add color and light taste. I have no time to make chocolate frosting (just like what addapinch.com made) so a friend told me to do this.

It's super easy to make and won't consume a lot of time so y'all should try this. Here's the recipe that I used:

Butter Cookies Recipe

Author: Robyn Stone | Add a Pinch
Serves: 3 dozen

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1½ sticks (3/4 cup) butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350º F.
2. Add flour, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
3. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg until well-combined. Slowly spoon in flour mixture mixing on medium speed until well-combined, then add vanilla and mix just until combined.
4. Scoop cookie dough by the tablespoon onto a large baking sheet, leaving about 2-inches between each cookie. Press down on cookie dough ball lightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass until about ½-inch thick. Bake 10-13 minutes until lightly browned.
5. Cool completely.

Notes

For the roundest of cookies, you can roll them between your palms before dropping onto the baking sheet. Then, lightly press as directed before baking.
