How to Make Fabulous Cut Out Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. If making chocolate cookies, stir in 3 ounces (85g) of melted unsweetened chocolate.
  7. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  8. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
  9. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
