Star Shaped Butter Cookies

Butter Cookies

In 2017, when my first baby was born and started to eat solid food, I thought I needed to prepare all her food at home. The first time I tried making butter cookies with just a few ingredients, they turned out fantastic. I started making them regularly for us and enjoyed them.
Only 3 ingredients can make these delicious cookies

Equipment

  • 1 Oven
  • 1 Electric Mixer optional
  • 1 Decorating Nozzle optional

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 Cup Butter
  • 2 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 Cup Sugar icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix melted butter with icing sugar using a spatula with a gentle hand until well combined. Then, use an electric mixer on low speed to beat until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture appears white. 
  • Stop beating and add the flour. Mix with a spatula first, then beat on low speed. I prefer the flavor of butter without additional flavoring, but you can add vanilla essence if desired. If you use salted butter, there’s no need to add extra salt; however, if you use unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt. Beat for 2-3 minutes until the mixture resembles creamy cake batter. That indicates it’s done.
  •  If desired, you can use a nozzle for decorating, but I prefer to keep it simple and easy. I shape the dough into small circles and press them with a fork, creating a nice pattern.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Then, place your cookies inside and bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool and then store them.
