Oh, yes! Simple 3-ingredient butter cookies are ridiculously easy and buttery-delicious. Here’s a perfect recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
Optional: pinch of salt or vanilla extract if you want to elevate them, but you truly don’t need anything else.
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dough:
- Beat softened butter and powdered sugar until creamy.
- Gradually add flour and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Shape Cookies:
- Roll dough into small balls (about 1 inch).
- Place on baking sheet and flatten slightly with a fork or your fingers.
- Bake: 12–15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool: Let them rest on the pan 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Tips:
- For extra charm: sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking.
- Keep them soft by storing in an airtight container.
- Can also pipe them with a cookie press for fancy shapes.
If you want, I can give a variation that only uses 3 ingredients but makes them chewy instead of crisp—it’s a game-changer. Do you want me to?
