Easy butter cookies (Photos)

Butter cookies are a delight for the whole family. They are light and golden in color. A cookie that no one will dare pass up. Youll enjoy baking these for your children because when theyre homemade you know what ingredients are included. All the preservatives and coloring in the store brands will be left out. Make some today to enjoy with your family and look forward to the smiles that will appear on their faces when you serve them these buttery treats.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/3 cups flour
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter (1/2 pound)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 unbeaten egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375'.
  2. In a medium sized bowl sift 2 1/3 cups of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  3. In a smaller bowl cream the butter.
  4. Once butter is a creamy texture gradually add 1 cup of sugar.
  5. Blend into the butter mixture 1 unbeaten egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Beat mixture well.
  6. Add dry ingredients slowly to the butter mixture. Mix well after each addition.
  7. Then add 2 teaspoons of oil and mix well once more.
  8. Use a cookie sheet and lightly butter it.
  9. Then drop teaspoons full of cookie dough onto sheet.
  10. Place spoonfuls at least 2 inches apart. Cookie dough will spread out.
  11. Bake in oven for 7-10 minutes.
  12. Remove cookie sheet from oven and with a spatula remove cookies one at a time and place on cooling rack.
  13. When cookies are completely cool they can be placed in a Tupperware container, air-tight container, cookie jar or placed on a platter.
  14. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To make a plain dish look more attractive you could place a paper lace doily on it before arranging the cookies.
  • To give these cookies a more festive look for the holidays use a metal spatula, knife or even a fork and gently press on the cookie dough to make two or three lines going each way. Do this before baking the cookies.
  • Once the cookies are transferred to a cookie rack and are still hot then sprinkle a few red or green sugar crystals on them to keep up with your holiday color themes.
