  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature unsalted butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a dough forms.
  5. Use a piping bag or spoon to drop small dollops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
