- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be stiff; a sturdy mixing spoon is recommended.
- Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently flatten each ball slightly using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
