- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). A crucial step to ensure evenly baked cookies.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. This aerates the mixture, essential for light cookies.
- Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. These ingredients enrich the flavor and create smooth batter consistency.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, creating a soft dough.
- Roll the dough into small balls or traditional knot shapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave space between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the bottoms are light golden brown. Avoid overbaking for softer cookies.
