Butter Cookies.
Baking cookies is one of my favorite activities during the Holiday Season. The smell of a fresh batch of cookies right out of the oven is just wonderful and heartwarming. The best part I have a partner in crime and we make it an annual event her and I and we spend the whole day baking. Somehow in the small space that I call my kitchen, we can manage to make over 10 different types of cookies, fudge, and lots of sweet goodness.
One of the easiest and most sinful cookies are the butter cookies.
What makes Butter Cookies so special?
Soft tender and only 5 ingredients, one being water. Those little divine morsels of sweet goodness will please everyone in your family.
Adding a hint of almond extract and will bring those cookies to the next level. Bite into those soft pillowy cookies and you will never be the same. Delicate and full of flavor.
Your house will have that wonderful scent that will lead everyone to your kitchen. However, watch out as they seem to disappear when left unattended.
TIPS
Those cookies should not look golden on the top at all. As you know your oven best, the timing is a guide to you.
Do press lightly with the fork but do not go thru.
Makes lots as they will be gone fast.
