My mom’s grandma used to make these.

🥄 Instructions:

1. Cream the Butter and Sugar
   In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This is key to getting that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
2. Add the Egg and Vanilla
   Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add to the wet mixture and stir until a dough forms.
4. Chill (Optional but Recommended)
   Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
5. Shape and Bake
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into small balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Flatten gently with a fork or the bottom of a glass. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are just golden.
6. Cool and Enjoy
   Let cool on a wire rack. Serve with tea, coffee, or just straight from the cookie jar!
