Merry Christmas Cookies (Butter Cookies)
Soft, buttery cookies the entire family will love
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Sifted cake flour
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 3/4 cup Sifted powdered sugar (Confectioner's)
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until a putty-like consistency is obtained.
- My method is using specialty cookie sheets. See above for more information.
- Roll into a rope and cut into 24 equal pieces. Place one piece in each depression of the cookie mold. Then, with your fingers, pat the dough to evenly fill the depressions.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to brown. Cool thoroughly.
- If you don't have impression cookie sheets, you can order them from Walmart and department stores. I did not find any on Amazon.
- Frost the cooled cookies. I used the icing for Eggnog Iced Oatmeal Cookies from Joy the Baker's Food Blog. It is now my go-to frosting. I included a link within the information above.
