Start by preheating your oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, set it aside.
Next, in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until it’s light and fluffy – this should take approximately 4-5 minutes. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary, so that all of the ingredients are fully incorporated!
Next, once your mixture is light and fluffy, add in the flour and mix until it’s fully combined, again being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. It should take about two minutes for the dough to come together.
Once the dough is finished, use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough into 12-16 balls, rolling each one in your hand.
Then, roll each one into a cigar shape and place it on the baking sheet.
Finally, bend each one into an “S” shape. Repeat until all of your cookies are formed!
Bake them for 18-22 minutes, then remove the cookies from the oven once they’re done.
While they’re still hot, dust them heavily with powdered sugar. Then, let them cool and enjoy!
