Butter cut out cookies
Dough must be chilled. Dough gets soft very quickly, but when the dough is chilled properly a lot of detail can be seen in the cut out cookies. I chilled dough after it was cut out as well, before it went into the oven. Cookies didn't spread.
How to Make It
Step 1
Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar gradually, beating well. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
Step 2
Combine flour and salt in a large bowl; beat into butter mixture gradually. Divide dough into 4 pieces, and flatten into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 4
Roll each portion of dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out with 3- or 4-inch cookie cutters. Place on prepared baking sheets.
Step 5
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned around edges. Let cool 3 minutes on baking sheets; transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 6
Pipe cookies with Royal Icing; garnish, if desired.
