Vanilla Bean Butter Cookies (Page 2 ) | August 16, 2024

Annonce:

No wonder butter cookies are a classic. The butteriness, the crispy edges, the tender crumb and melt in your mouth feel are irresistible. They are a staple around the holiday season. During this hectic time of year, butter cookies also make life a bit easier. And that is because the dough is great for freezing. So you can prep ahead and bake when needed. Just like that, you have fresh homemade cookies on demand. (The baked cookies are great for freezing as well!)

Another thing I love about butter cookies is they look beautiful without any decoration, especially when piped. I like to add some sanding sugar for a little sparkle, but it’s not necessary. However, they can be embellished in numerous ways: with sprinkles, nuts, or dipped in chocolate.

This is a butter cookie recipe with emphasis on the vanilla flavor. A little more than typical is used. Not only does it impart a delicate flavor, but it also adds dark specks of color throughout.
