Here’s a super simple recipe for 3-Ingredient Butter Cookies:
Ingredients:
-
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Cream the butter and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or beat by hand with a whisk.
-
Add the flour gradually, mixing until everything is fully incorporated into a dough. It might be a little crumbly, but that’s okay. If it’s too dry, you can add a tiny bit of milk (about a teaspoon at a time).
-
Shape the dough into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter). Place them on the prepared baking sheet and gently press each one with the back of a fork or your fingers to flatten slightly.
-
Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
-
Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional:
-
You can sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking, or add a dash of vanilla extract if you want to jazz them up a bit.
