5-Minute Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. -
Mix the dough:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes). You can use a hand mixer or do this by hand with a whisk. -
Add the dry ingredients:
Gradually add the flour and salt (if using) to the butter mixture. Mix until the dough comes together into a soft, smooth ball. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it now and stir to combine. -
Form the cookies:
Roll the dough into small 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. You can gently press each ball down with your fingers or the back of a spoon for a slightly flattened cookie. -
Bake:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will melt in your mouth as they cool. -
Cool and enjoy:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a twist, you can sprinkle the cookies with a little extra powdered sugar or a pinch of cinnamon after baking.
- Add-ins: You can also add chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts to the dough for more flavor and texture.
These cookies are buttery, crumbly, and practically melt in your mouth. Perfect for when you’re craving something sweet in a hurry! Enjoy!
