These crisp, delicious butter cookies have lots of amazing butter flavor and a melt in your mouth consistency that will have you coming back for more.
Good old fashioned butter cookies are hard to beat! These holiday staples are delicious any time of the year and the best part is the dough can be made months ahead and baked of for an amazing on demand treat! I love the simple flavors and perfect crumb of the cookie. They’re light and not too sweet so I can eat them en mass and still have a skip in my step.
HOW TO SOFTEN BUTTER QUICKLY
If you forgot to leave your butter out on the counter for a few hours don’t worry! Pop it into the microwave for a 10 second burst at 50 percent power. Turn the sticks over and repeat once or twice until the butter has softened.
If you don’t want to use the microwave try filling a glass with very how water, dump the water out and place upside down on your counter over a stick of butter. In about 15 minutes your butter should be pretty close to room temperature.
