Yield Makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups sifted all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl; set aside. Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Gradually mix in flour mixture. Divide dough in half; flatten each half into a disk. Wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (or overnight).
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Let 1 disk of dough stand at room temperature just until soft enough to roll, about 10 minutes. Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to just under 1/4 inch thick, adding more flour as needed to keep dough from sticking. Cut out cookies with a 4-inch cat-shape cookie cutter, transferring cookies to parchment-lined baking sheets as you work. Roll out the scraps, and repeat. Repeat with remaining disk of dough. Chill cookies in freezer until very firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Bake cookies, switching positions of sheets and rotating halfway through, until edges turn golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

Overall, I wasn't impressed with these cookies. They were too sweet, too crumbly, and didn't hold their shape well.

These cookies didn't turn out as I expected. They were a bit too crumbly and didn't hold their shape very well.

I had a hard time getting the dough to the right consistency. It was either too sticky or too dry.

I love the way these cookies look, but I found them to be a bit too sweet for my taste.
