Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Cream them together until light and fluffy.

Gradually add the flour to the butter-sugar mixture. Stir until you have a smooth dough.

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Gently press down on each dough ball to flatten slightly.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.

Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Enjoy your delicious sugar cookies!
