Butter Cookies RecipeYou might want to double the quantity of my butter cookies recipe because I can assure they they will be eaten in no time. Very plain looking, but these delectable cookies have such a buttery taste they simply melt in your mouth.Decorate the butter cookies with a chocolate glaze, with sprinkles, a dusting of powder sugar or just leave them plain. The butter cookies will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight tin. The recipe will make about 40 cookies.
Melt In Your Mouth Butter Cookies125g butter50g powder sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla sugar 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind 1 tsp cream 75g flour 60g cornstarch (cornflour) chocolate glaze Preheat the oven to 180 dregrees C. Lightly grease 2 baking trays and line with baking paper. In a bowl mix the soft butter, vanilla sugar and powder sugar with a hand mixer until light and creamy. Add the grated lemon and cream and mix again. Lastly add the sifted cornstarch and flour and beat to a smooth dough. Put the dough in a piping bag with a star nozzle (1 1/2 cm) and pipe 4 cm long stips onto the baking sheet. Bake the butter cookies for about 15 minutes until a golden brown. Leave to cool on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate the cookies as you like. The cookies are great to give as gifts at christmas time or all year round in fact. Line a pretty tin or box with parchment paper, fill with cookies and secure with ribbon. A great gift for friends, relatives, teacher appreciation, neighbours or school fetes.
