You are just 7 ingredients away from the PERFECT butter cookie. No stale tin cookies here!


Variations to Try

  • Citrus Burst : Add 1 tsp lemon/orange zest to the dough.

  • Sprinkle Cookies : Roll dough balls in sprinkles or coarse sugar.
  • Nutty Twist : Add ½ cup chopped pecans or almonds.

Tips for Success

  • Room-Temp Ingredients : Ensures smooth mixing and even texture.
  • Storage Hack : Keep in an airtight container with a slice of bread to retain moisture.
  • Freeze Dough : Slice and freeze the log for fresh-baked cookies anytime.

Serving Suggestions
