Butter Cookie
Into a bowl take softened butter 🧈 113 gms or 4 oz. In cups, it's around 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons. Beat the butter using a hand beater until light and fluffy. Add granulated sugar 1/4 cup, salt 1/4 teaspoon, and beat along with the butter. As soon as the butter and sugar mixture turns light and smooth add All-purpose flour in two portions and mix with the cut and fold method using a spatula. Give it a quick mix using a hand beater. The mixture crumbles. Transfer the mixture onto a flat surface and use hands to form a dough. Roll it long and shape it well. You may shape it the way you like. Next, roll the cookie dough log and wrap it in parchment paper, then double roll in a silver foil tightly. Close the ends by folding the wraps. You may also use food wrap instead.Freeze the cookies ~Freeze it for 1-hour minimum for best results.Take it out from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Use a board to cut them into pieces. Use a sharp-edged knife. Cut and use standing sugar sparkles to coat these on the top. Coat one side of the cookies with sugar sparklers. These look delicious and add extra crunchy sugary texture to the cookies. If in case you don’t have standing sugar sparkles then you may use simply granulated sugar to sprinkle on the top. Prepare all the cookies and refrigerate back again for 10 minutes until you preheat the oven. Baking ~Line them up on a baking tray onto parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes or when you see the bottom of the cookies turn slightly golden brown in color take them out from the oven.Take them out from the oven and allow them to cool sometime on the tray itself as these are too soft to touch initially but get crisp once completely cold.
