Butter Cookies Ine Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Cream together with an electric hand mixer until the butter is light and fluffy,
• Add the egg and milk, and continue beating until smooth. Set aside.
• In medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to combine until the dough comes together.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to ¼-inch (¾ cm) thick. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters of your choice. Re-roll the excess dough and cut out more shapes until all of the dough is used. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
• Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cookies are firm around the edges but still soft at the centers. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the frosting: In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and condensed milk. Beat with an electric hand mixer until creamy and smooth. Divide the frosting between smaller bowls and add food coloring, if desired.
• Decorate the cookies with the frosting, sprinkles, and candies.
• Enjoy!

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press dough out onto ungreased, chilled cookie sheets.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Beat the salted butter, vanilla and sugar together with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Sift over the flour and beat again until just combined. Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a medium star nozzle.
• Pipe the dough in small 5cm swirls on one large or two smaller baking trays lined with baking parchment, spacing them apart to allow for them to spread. Bake for 15-20 mins until pale golden.
• Leave to cool on the trays for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
