Butter cookies are the epitome of comforting treats, ideal for a cozy afternoon with a warm drink or to share with family and friends. Their rich buttery taste and crumbly texture make them a perennial favorite, and they are surprisingly simple to make at home.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and 0.30 cup sugar (60g).
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream them together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the 2 tsp heavy whipping cream and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Gradually add the 1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour (190g) to the butter mixture.
- Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Avoid overmixing.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently press each ball down with the back of a spoon or the base of a glass to flatten slightly.
- Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the 3 tbsp sugar (36g).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the warm and cozy butter cookies with a hot beverage of your choice, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature to facilitate better blending with the sugar.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps to prevent spreading and maintains the cookies' shape.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking and to promote even baking.
- Keep an eye on the baking time, as these cookies can turn from perfectly golden to overbaked quickly. Rotate the baking sheet midway through baking for even coloring.
With a handful of ingredients and a little bit of time, you can bake these delightful butter cookies to enjoy a homemade treat that's perfect for any occasion. Follow the tips to achieve the best results and relish the warm joy that each cookie brings.
