Could you please provide the text that you would like me to simplify? **Make the dough:**
– In a big bowl, mix the softened butter and powdered sugar until they are light and fluffy. If you want, you can add vanilla extract and mix everything together.
– Mix the flour, cornstarch, and salt together, then slowly combine it with the butter mixture. Mix until the dough is soft.
2. Simplify the text. **Form the cookies:**
– Split the dough into two parts and shape each part into a log that is around 2 inches thick.
– Cover each piece of wood with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least 1 hour (this makes it easier to cut and stops it from spreading).
Could you please provide the text that you would like me to simplify? **Make the cookies:**
– Heat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
– Cut the dough into slices that are 1/4 inch thick and put them on the baking sheet.
– Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden. To keep a soft and smooth texture, make sure not to bake for too long.
Please provide the text you would like me to simplify. **Have fun and enjoy:**
– Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely. Try these delicious butter cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
**Suggestions:** For added taste, you can lightly dust with powdered sugar or dip one side in melted chocolate after the cookies have cooled.
