Butter cookies are very easy to make at home. Even a child can prepare them.
In fact, possibly one of the first recipes we make in our lives is just the butter cookies, of course, supervised by our mothers or grandmothers.
Com we are big fans of homemade cookies and we believe that everyone should know how to make them, at least in its most basic form.
To make these delicious butter cookies you need only 4 basic ingredients: butter, sugar, flour and egg. And a pinch of salt.
Once with this mix of ingredients you can get creative and make funny cookies...
In this recipe I include a pinch of cinnamon as about ½ teaspoon, it seems to give a touch of interesting aroma and flavor without becoming "cinnamon cookies." If you do not want to put it, then nothing happens.
Ingredients
-250 grams unsalted butter
-150 grams of sugar
-400 grams of all purpose wheat flour
-1 egg
-Pinch of salt
-Pinch A cinnamon powder
Preparation:
1.Preheat oven to 180 degrees
2.Beat the butter with the sugar in a medium bowl.
3.Add the salt, cinnamon if you decided to put it and the egg until a slightly creamy paste is made.
4.Add the wheat flour little by little and see mixing until there are no lumps.
5.You should have some kind of "big cookie dough" a little solid. Put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
6.After the time, take out your cookie dough and spread it on a flat surface.
7.Now simply with the aid of a knife or a round mold, cut the cookies and put them on a previously greased baking sheet.
8.If you prefer you can simply knead flour balls, put them in the tray and crush them with the fork to give it the desired shape.
9.Put it in the oven and cook for 9-10 minutes or until the edges of the butter cookies are lightly browned.
10.Remove the tray from the oven, remove the cookies and, if you have more dough, repeat the process again until you have all ready.
11.Let them cool on a plate or basket with cloth and good profit!
The important thing is that you learn how to make butter cookies, enjoy them while you prepare them and, at the point of trial and error, you get delicious cookies that everyone will want to eat and then you will have to prepare more and more :P
