How to Prepare Cookies for Southern Tea Cake
Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized basin and put it aside.
Add sugar and butter to the bowl of your mixer, and beat on high speed until smooth and fluffy, approximately 4–5 minutes.
Set the mixer to medium speed, then add the vanilla extract and one egg, beating until well combined.
Finally, reduce the speed of the mixer to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, mixing well after each addition.
