How to Make Vanilla Biscuits Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Gently press down on each ball with a fork to create a criss-cross pattern.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven; for conventional ovens, bake for 15-20 minutes.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
