Melt-in-Your-Mouth Butter Cookies
Ingredients
250 g flour
170 g butter (softened)
100 g sugar (50 g for the dough + 50 g for sprinkling)
Directions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and 50 g of sugar. Mix until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be well-blended and pliable, making it easy to shape.
Shape the Cookies:
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is enough space between each ball to allow for spreading during baking.
Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern. This not only flattens the cookies but also gives them a classic butter cookie look.
Add the Finishing Touch:
Sprinkle the remaining 50 g of sugar over the cookies. This will give them a delightful sweetness and a slight crunch.
Bake the Cookies:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and enhances their melt-in-your-mouth texture.
