Butter cookies are a delicious Western baked treat that can be served at any time, whether for family gatherings, meetings, or special occasions. They are especially loved by children. There are many varieties of cookies, such as coconut, chocolate, and vanilla cookies, but today we will be sharing a recipe for butter cookies. This recipe is easy to prepare, takes only 15 minutes, and serves eight people. The ingredients are simple and affordable.

Main Ingredients for Butter Cookies:

 

For the Dough:

• 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1½ teaspoons liquid vanilla extract
• 1 cup melted butter
• 1¼ cups powdered sugar

For Topping:

• Granulated sugar
• Raisins

How to Prepare Butter Cookies:

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a deep bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder. Use a hand whisk to mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.

2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a mixer, add the melted butter and powdered sugar. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes until well incorporated. Then, add one egg and continue mixing, followed by the second egg. After that, add the vanilla extract and mix again.

3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft and smooth dough forms.

4. Shape the Cookies: Remove the dough from the mixer and begin working with it immediately. Take a small portion of the dough, about the size of an almond, and roll it into a ball. Gently press down with your finger to form a flat cookie. Place two or three raisins on top and arrange the cookies on a baking tray. Repeat the process, making another small ball of dough, pressing it flat, and sprinkling a little granulated sugar on top instead of raisins.

5. Prepare for Baking: Continue shaping the cookies in the same manner until all the dough is used. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), and place the baking tray in the middle rack of the oven.

6. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning. Once they turn a light golden color, remove them from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Store and Serve: Once the cookies have fully cooled, place them in a metal tin or airtight container. The cookies are now ready to serve when needed.

Enjoy your delicious butter cookies with family and friends!
