- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Mix in the vanilla. Beat in flour, beginning on low speed and increasing to medium-high, until completely mixed in.
- Scoop dough out 1 tablespoon at a time and roll into a ball. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned on the bottom. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Notes
If cookies flatten too much while baking chill the dough balls before baking the rest. I find as long as my butter isn't overly soft when making the dough, the cookies turn out nice and round.
