These butter cookies are perfect as gifts. I made a batch before, placed them in little plastic bags, and tied ribbon around them. I gave them away to a potluck I attended. They all loved the cookies, including the men. And the wives had asked me for the recipe. I have to thank Home Cooking Adventure for sharing such a recipe to us.
One of our friends over at Home Cooking Adventure has this to say about the recipe:
“Is there anyone who doesn’t enjoy butter cookies? You definitely need to try this version of butter cookies as you will probably change your mind. These cookies are soft inside, almost melting in your mouth, with a bit of crispy texture on the outside, buttery and rich.”
That is exactly the best way to describe these marvelous cookies! They’re truly addicting. You wouldn’t be able to stop once you start nibbling on them. I think they taste best with a cup of milk or coffee, but it’s up to you!
Ingredients
- 9 oz (250g) Land O Lakes butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (60g) Domino powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5g) McCormick vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) Gold Medal flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Using a spatula incorporate flour into the butter mixture until completely combined.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a 1M (½ inch-1 cm) star tip.

- Let the cookies cool completely on a cooling rack before serving.

Quick Tip: You need to work as quickly as you can as the batter can harden and makes the piping more difficult.
Thanks again to Home Cooking Adventure for this amazing recipe.
