I have the bomb: 2 sticks soft butter 1 c sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp baking powder 4 c flour 3 Tb milk or more till nice consistency Beat butter and sugar till creamy. Add egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk. Will look a lil dry in the beginning. Don't over beat though. Roll out (half the dough at a time) on lightly powdered sugar surface. (Better than a floured surface) Cut out shapes. Bake at 350 for about 8 min. Better to under bake than over. They'll be nice and soft after cooling. Re roll scraps to cut but not more than once. Chilling the dough before cutting out is best. More on reddit.com

Made some today. They taste great! I folded some cinnamon into the dough before refrigerating it which worked great. Some I made with chocolate chips instead of cinnamon as someone in my house doesn't like cinnamon and those came out alright, but a bit bland. Thanks for sharing the recipe!!

Mine is super simple and works well. It's really easy to play about with and try different variations. 3 parts Flour... 2 parts Butter... 1 part Sugar How much flour will depend on your exact ingredients so add more as necessary. It should be dry enough to roll around and shape in your hand and peel it off a dusted surface without sticking. It shouldn't be so dry that it cracks when you're shaping it. I usually end up needing to add quite a bit more flour cos I use a really soft butter. I cook them at about 160°c for 10 ish minutes (depending on size and thickness). I like them rather soft so I pull them out just as they're starting to brown a little on the edges. The tops are usually still a bit wet, they dry as they cool. You can also leave them in for longer to get more crunch. You can take them out, try one and put them back if it's not done enough for you. I don't bother chilling them before I cook them, but you certainly can. You should also be able to freeze them. If you want to make them chocolate a bit like Oreos you can substitute some of the flour for dark cocoa powder. I like to do that and then sprinkle them with some sugar when they're cooked and cooling. More on reddit.com
