Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Additional powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disc. Wrap them in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Take one disc of dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use snowflake-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the dough and place the shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the remaining dough, rerolling scraps as needed.
9. Once the cookies are completely cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
10. Serve and enjoy these delightful Butter Snow Flakes!
