- ½ cup butter (softened, salted or unsalted)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons white sugar (optional, for fork cross-hatch pattern)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

- Bake 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and bottoms are set.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
