Greek Yogurt Cut Out Sugar Cookies

Make the Dough
2 Cream [wprm-ingredient text="½ unsalted butter" uid="0"] and [wprm-ingredient text="1 cup granulated sugar" uid="1"] together in a large bowl with a hand mixer or a stand mixer. Beat the ingredients together until airy and light yellow, about 3-4 minutes.
3 Add [wprm-ingredient text="1 egg" uid="2"] and [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract" uid="3"]. Beat them into the creamed butter-sugar mixture until incorporated.
4 Next, add [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup plain Greek yogurt" uid="4"]. Mix until combined and creamy and a very pale yellow, about 2 minutes.
5 Sift together the dry ingredients ([wprm-ingredient text="3 ½ cups all-purpose flour" uid="5"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon baking soda" uid="6"] and [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon fine sea salt" uid="7"]) together in another bowl. Whisk to combine.
6 Slowly, sprinkle the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until all have been incorporated. Turn the blender on the lowest setting to mix them in.
7 Split the dough in half and place each half on a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap. Wrap tightly, then transfer to the refrigerator.
8 Chill the dough for at least an hour.
Bake the Cookies
11 Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats, and set aside.
12 Flour a flat surface in your kitchen. Place the dough round on the floured surface and add a sprinkling of flour on top of the dough.
13 Roll out the dough into a ¼" thickness with a floured rolling pin.
14 Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes, then transfer to the prepared parchment paper. Be sure to leave a little space between each cookie.
15 After cutting out a round of cookies, form the cookie dough scraps into a ball and re-roll. You might need to add more flour to the surface and dough to prevent it from sticking.
16 Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until the cookies have risen slightly and are a very pale golden brown.
17 Allow the cookies to cool completely, then ice with your favorite sugar cookie icing.
