Melt-in-Your-Mouth Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• • 250 g flour
  • 170 g butter (softened)

• 100 g sugar (50 g for the dough + 50 g for sprinkling)

Directions

1. 1. Preheat the Oven:
      • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

1. 1. Prepare the Dough:
      • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and 50 g of sugar. Mix until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be well-blended and pliable, making it easy to shape.
   2. Shape the Cookies:
      • • Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is enough space between each ball to allow for spreading during baking.

       

      • Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern. This not only flattens the cookies but also gives them a classic butter cookie look.
   3. Add the Finishing Touch:
      • • Sprinkle the remaining 50 g of sugar over the cookies. This will give them a delightful sweetness and a slight crunch.

       

   4. Bake the Cookies:
      • • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
        • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and enhances their melt-in-your-mouth texture.

       

   5. Enjoy:
      • Once completely cooled, enjoy your delicious melt-in-your-mouth cookies!
