Ingredients

SERVINGS: 3 Dozen
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temp and cut into pieces

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. Place all ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until all of the butter is incorporated, about 10 to 15 one-second pulses. It’s ready when the mixture looks like wet sand and clumps together when pressed. Pour the dough onto a well-floured surface and gently press it together into a crumbly mound. Knead the dough a few times and form it into a square shape. Roll the dough to ¼ inch to ½ inch thickness and use your favorite cookie cutter shape. Transfer the cookies to the parchment-lined baking sheets. Chill the cookies on the sheet pan in the freezer for 15 minutes or until the cookies are solid to the touch. Bake the cookies, about ½ inch apart, for 15-18 minutes, or until the cookies are dry to the touch and the bottoms just begin to turn golden. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack before transferring to a container for storage.
