1/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch salt
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

3. Add flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Roll dough into 6–8 small balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
5. Slightly flatten each dough ball. For cut-out cookies, roll and shape as desired.

7. Let cookies cool on the tray before transferring to a rack.
Notes
Let cookies cool on the baking tray to avoid breaking.
Don’t overbake — they’ll continue to set as they cool.
Add sprinkles or icing after baking for extra fun.
