Instructions

  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, salt, and sugar together until light and fluffy.

  • Pour in the flour mixture and mix until incorporated.
  • Roll the dough into a log. Wrap in parchment paper or plastic, then chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. I
  • Once the dough is chilled, use a sharp knife to cut dough into even sized slices.
  • Top cookies with coarse sugar or sprinkles if desired. Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges just start to brown.
