Butter Ridge Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º F and line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl or mixer, cream together butter and sugar for 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add vanilla extract and mix until incorporated, then, working in batches, add in flour until mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Use a tablespoon or small scooper to scoop dough into balls and transfer to lined baking sheets.

Step 5

Once on baking sheets, use your middle three fingers to gently press down on the dough, creating two ridges along the tops of the cookies. Cookies should be roughly 1/4-inch thick.

Step 6

Place baking sheets in oven and bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges of cookies are just golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!
