These cookies are a delightful treat, perfect for any occasion. With a buttery texture and a hint of vanilla, they are sure to please.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
Use an electric mixer for a smoother consistency.
Add the water and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix well.
Ensure the liquids are fully combined for a uniform dough.
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Add the flour in small batches to avoid lumps.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers.
Wet your fingers slightly to prevent sticking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the cookies to prevent overbaking.
Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.
Cooling on a rack prevents sogginess.
