• 2.75 cup all-purpose flour

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
