Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot enough for baking the cookies.

  2. 2

    Prepare Baking Sheets

    Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  2. 4

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar until the mixture is fluffy.

  3. 5

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract.

  4. 6

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Shaping and Baking

  1. 7

    Shape the Dough

    Using your hands, form small balls of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.

  2. 8

    Bake the Cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

  3. 9

    Cool the Cookies

    Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Garnishing

  1. 10

    Dust with Powdered Sugar

    Once the cookies are completely cool, dust them generously with powdered sugar.

  2. 11

    Add Nuts

    Sprinkle chopped walnuts or almonds on top of the cookies for added flavor and texture.
