Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
cooking spray with flour
Directions
Beat butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat for 1 minute. Add flour and salt; beat until combined, about 1 more minute, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Refrigerate dough for 1 to 2 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a cookie mold with floured cooking spray.
Press chilled dough into the prepared cookie mold. Scrape off excess dough with a knife, so dough is flush with the edge of the mold. Loosen the dough and let it fall onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat to form remaining cookies.
Bake in batches in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool briefly on the cookie sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool.
