Butter Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
3. Shape the Cookies:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
   • Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
   • Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, forming various shapes such as rosettes, shells, or circles.
4. Bake the Cookies:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
   • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the butter cookies as a delightful treat with tea or coffee, or as a sweet snack.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough.
• If you don’t have a piping bag, you can roll the dough into small balls and flatten them slightly with a fork.
