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.
