Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter (8 tablespoons)
  • 6 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking sheet. Place the butter in a bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and flour and stir to combine.
  • Using a 1-tablespoon measure or scoop, scoop the dough into onto the prepared baking sheet about 2-inches apart. Flatten, if desired. Top with add-ins, if desired. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
