Butter Cookies Recipe

  • by

Makes: 24–30 cookies

Ingredients

1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened

½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour

¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Mix in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.

Add the flour and salt, then mix until a smooth, soft dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe swirls onto the prepared baking tray. (Alternatively, roll into small balls and gently flatten.)

Bake for 10–14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving: Enjoy with tea, coffee, or milk. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
