- ¼ tsp. salt
- 167 g unsalted butter softened (approx. ¾ cup)

- Add dry ingredients and mix until dough is formed.
- Divide dough in half. Place each part of cookie dough on a cut piece of cling film and form into a log or rectangular block. Wrap in cling film, transfer to refrigerator and chill for 30 min to 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Transfer chilled dough logs to a cutting board, unwrap, and slice into ¼ to ½" (approx 1 cm) slices. Transfer each slice onto baking sheet, spaced ½" apart.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes or until edges are slightly golden brown.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes on baking sheet (cookies will be very soft when still hot but will harden as they cool), then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
