Enjoy pure joy with these incredibly simple 3-ingredient butter cookies – no eggs needed!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your butter is truly softened for easy creaming.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added.
- These cookies are delicate, so handle them with care when warm.
