Our Perfect Butter Cookies are simple, delicious, and the perfect companion to a warm cup of tea or coffee. Follow our detailed guide to creating this delightful treat in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (220g) of softened salted butter. (If you prefer unsalted butter, use it and add ½ tsp of salt.)
- ¾ cup (100g) of icing sugar
- 1 large egg (55g)
- 2 tsp (10g) of vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) of all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing your butter. In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter. Lightly whisk it until the butter reaches a smooth consistency.
- Next, incorporate the icing sugar. Mix the sugar with the butter until the two ingredients are smooth and well blended.
- Break one egg into a small bowl and lightly beat it. Add the beaten egg to the butter mixture. Add the vanilla extract as well. Mix the ingredients until they are fully combined.
- Now, it’s time to add the flour. Sift in 2 cups of all-purpose flour into the mixture. Using a spatula, blend the flour until the batter becomes smooth and well incorporated.
- Transfer the cookie batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag that has a star tip. Lightly grease a baking tray and line it with parchment paper.
- Carefully pipe the batter in a rosette pattern in a clockwise motion. Space the cookies well to allow them room to expand during baking.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the pan and place them onto a wire rack to cool down completely.
