Butter Cookies






My children in particular G has been bugging me to bake butter cookies. They love the butter cookies that Grandma used to bake. Grandma somehow has not been baking for the past few years and especially now with her oven not working.

I modified her recipe and some of the recipes that I googled for. The cookies turned out really well and they are really melt-in-the-mouth.

I used a cookie press for these cookies and decided to keep the dough in the fridge for the next day. However, when I tried to use the cookie press the next day, somehow it couldn't come out nicely. The lesson learnt is to use up all the dough and finish baking the same day.

Ingredients

5 cups plain flour
1/4 cup corn flour
1.25 tsp baking powder
1.5 tsp salt
500g butter
1.5 cup icing sugar/fine sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence

Method

1. Mix dry ingredients well.
2. Beat butter and sugar until light.
3. Add in eggs and vanilla essence.
4. Reduce speed and add in flour.
5. Bake at 180 degree Celcius for about 20-25 minutes.
