Recipe for Crispy Sugary Butter Cookies:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar (plus extra for coating)
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for dough consistency)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or a fork.
- For the design, use a fork or cookie cutter to imprint a pattern on the top.
- Coat each cookie lightly with granulated sugar.
- Bake:
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden color.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve once cooled, or store in an airtight container.
Enjoy these cookies with your favorite hot drink or share them with friends and family for a special treat!
