  3. Add the egg to the mixture and mix until well combined.

  4. Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients, one spoonful at a time, until fully incorporated.

  5. Mix in the vanilla.

  6. Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 1 hour.

  7. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  8. Take out half of the cookie dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
