  • 1 c. unsalted butter
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Small cup or shot glass

Instructions

  1. *For the no-spread cookie dough:*
  2. Combine the flour, corn starch, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.
  4. Add the eggs to the creamed butter mixture. Once combined, fold in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour in your flour mixture and combine until everything is well incorporated.
  6. Roll out the cookie dough until about ¼ inch thick.
  7. *For the X and O cookies:*
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  9. Cut 8-10 even strips from the rolled out no-spread cookie dough.
  10. Cut half of those cookie dough strips in half. At this point you should have 4-5 long strips of cookie dough, and 8-10 half-sized strips of cookie dough.
  11. For the Xs, place one half strip diagonally, and place the second diagonally over the first piece to create the X shape.
  12. For the Os, place your cup/shot glass/mold that you’ll use to shape the circle. Wrap the longer strip round your selected tool to form the O shape.
  13. Place Xs and Os on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
