Description
These 3-Ingredient Butter Cookies are tender, melt-in-your-mouth treats made with simple pantry staples. Perfect for quick baking sessions and satisfying sweet cravings.
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.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until the dough comes together and is smooth.
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1-inch in size) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a fork or your fingers.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened for easier mixing and a smoother dough.
- Do not overbake; the cookies should be lightly golden at the edges only.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- You can add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor if desired.
