These Golden Vanilla Butter Cookies are a delightful twist on classic butter cookies, featuring a hint of vanilla for added flavor.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Sift the dry ingredients together for a smoother dough.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the egg gradually to prevent curdling.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Divide the dough into two portions and shape each into a log about 1.5 inches in diameter. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Chilling the dough helps it firm up, making it easier to slice.

Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
Slice the chilled dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Use a sharp knife for clean slices.
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
