Butter Cookies / how to make eggless butter cookies
Written by Jayashree

Butter Cookies are classic, tasty and melt in the mouth. They are ideal to binge as snacks after school or during mid- day hunger pangs.

Baking is therapeutic, the aroma  fill my home and rejuvenates my senses, but alas ! I am a novice baker. Somehow, I never make many attempts, I would rather make dosa  or kebab.

Butter cookies are one of the simplest cookies that we can bake, they are tasty and melt in the mouth. I have been making these since many years and these are evergreen, simple yet never out of fashion.

A few other cookies that I have tried are Ghee Cookies, Mocha Cookies,

  2. Beat the butter for one minute. It should be soft and at room temperature.
  3. Add sugar to the butter, beat it again.
  4. Now, add the flour and mix it to a crumbly mixture. Slowly, knead it to a dough.

My older one loves these cookies and it has been a while since I baked these. Spring break might be a good idea to bake these, right?
