Instructions
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat butter until smooth and light in color. Add brown sugar until dissolved.
Gradually add in flour until dough begins to form. Add up to an additional ½ cup flour as needed so that the dough forms and the ball isn't sticky.
Wrap dough ball in plastic wrap for 30 minutes (no longer). Optional, chill dough.
Preheat oven to 300°F.
On a floured surface, roll dough to ½" thick. Use cookie cutters to cut and place on a baking sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes (depending on size of your cutters), watching carefully as to not over bake.
Notes
Chill dough during the 30 minute rest to prevent the cookies from spreading.
