3-Ingredient Butter Cookies
Whip up the easiest 3-Ingredient Butter Cookies recipe! These melt-in-your-mouth, buttery treats are perfect for baking with kids.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Turbinado sugar or extra powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Get ready. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mix it up. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until it's fluffy and light in color, about 5 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Add flour. Gradually mix in the flour on low speed until just combined, then increase speed until a soft dough forms.
- Shape cookies. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe your desired shapes onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Chill. Pop the baking sheets in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up the dough, which helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
- Bake. Bake one sheet at a time for 15-20 minutes until the cookies are lightly golden. Let them cool before moving and garnish with a sprinkle of sugar on top if desired
