Description
Butter cookies, also known as butter biscuits or shortbread cookies, are beloved for their simplicity and deliciousness. They are made with a handful of basic ingredients, with butter being the star of the show. Butter cookies have a crumbly and tender texture that melts effortlessly in the mouth, leaving behind a buttery richness that is hard to resist.
Ingredients:
Butter, softened
Granulated sugar
All-purpose flour
Salt
Optional: vanilla extract or other flavorings
To prepare butter cookies, softened butter and granulated sugar are creamed together until light and fluffy. Flour and salt are then gradually incorporated into the mixture until a smooth dough forms. The dough is often flavored with vanilla extract or other flavorings for added depth of flavor.
Once the dough is prepared, it can be shaped in various ways—rolled into balls and flattened with a fork, piped using a cookie press, or rolled out and cut into shapes using cookie cutters. The cookies are then baked in a preheated oven until lightly golden around the edges.
After baking, butter cookies are allowed to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before being transferred to a wire rack to cool completely. They can be enjoyed plain or decorated with a variety of toppings, such as sugar crystals, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate.
Butter cookies are perfect for any occasion, from casual snacking to elegant entertaining. Their delicate texture and rich buttery flavor make them a timeless favorite among cookie lovers of all ages.
