Description

These 3-Ingredient Butter Cookies are buttery, tender, and deliciously simple. Perfect for holiday baking or an anytime treat, they’re made with just butter, sugar, and flour!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or powdered sugar for a softer texture)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Make the Dough:

    • In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too crumbly, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk to help it come together.
  • Form the Cookies:

    • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to gently press down and create a crosshatch pattern on each cookie.
  • Bake:

    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve:

    • Enjoy these simple butter cookies as-is, or dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • Variations: For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or dip the cookies in melted chocolate once cooled.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
