• ▢ ¾ cups Butter
• ▢ 1 c White Sugar
• ▢ 2 whole Eggs
• ▢ 1 -½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• ▢ 2 -½ cups All-purpose Flour
• ▢ ¼ teaspoons Cream Of Tartar
• ▢ 1 tsp. Baking Powder
• ▢ ½ teaspoons Salt

• In a large mixing bowl, combine room temperature (not melted) butter and sugar until smooth.

• Add eggs and vanilla and combine.

• In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking powder, and salt. This is an important step;you want to avoid lumps in your dough.

• Slowly add dry ingredients into wet batter until fully incorporated.

• Drop dough onto a large piece of saran wrap, mold it into a 4×4 square, and refrigerate for at least onehour. I often let mine sit overnight.

• When ready to bake the cookies, generously flour a flat surface and roll out the dough. You can use asmuch flour as you need! I prefer to make cookies about 1/4? to 1/2? thick, but you can go thicker and stillhave successful results.

• For best results, bake on silpat or parchment paper. You can reuse parchment, too!

• Bake at 325-350 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes. In my oven, right about 6 minutes yields a perfectly cookedcookie, with no brown edges.
