Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
