Tips:
- Use high-quality powdered sugar for the best results.
- Make sure the butter is softened before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a light and fluffy batter.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, making the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them.
Conclusion:
Powdered sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these classic cookies that are perfect for any occasion.
