Cream together butter and sugar: Beat until the mixture becomes pale, fluffy, and smooth.

Add the flour: Fold it into the mixture gently until a soft dough forms.

Chill briefly: Rest the dough in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to make shaping easier.

Shape the cookies: Roll into balls, flatten slightly, or cut shapes using a cutter.

Prepare the tray: Line a baking sheet with parchment for even baking.

Bake the cookies: Place in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 12–15 minutes until just golden at the edges.

Cool fully: Allow the cookies to rest on a wire rack before serving.
