Butter Cookies Recipes

By Admin

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.

FAQ

Are butter cookies the same as shortbread?

Butter cookies are very similar to shortbread, with the main variation being an increase in sugar. In addition to making them taste awesome, the higher ratio of sugar to butter means a butter cookie is cookie-cutter-ready and bakes beautifully without any tendency to crumble.

What’s the difference between sugar cookies and butter cookies?

The biggest difference between sugar cookies and butter cookies is that sugar cookies are often rolled thin and cut out using cookie cutters. While butter cookies will hold their shape while baking, the dough is much softer and for best results should be piped onto a baking sheet and then baked.

Why are they called butter cookies?

To explain, butter cookies are characteristically crisp cookies that usually use butter, flour, and sugar as their main ingredients.

Why are butter cookies not crispy?

Adjust baking time to achieve the cookie texture desired. A little less time produces chewier cookies, a little more time makes them crispy. If you prefer softer cookies, remove them from the oven while they are still slightly under baked. Always check for doneness at the minimum baking time.
