  • To start preparing the homemade butter cookies, take a bowl and mix the butter with the sugar. You can do this by hand with a spatula, and you will see how the butter lightens, forming a very creamy dough.
  • The next step is to add the eggs and vanilla. Continue stirring with the spatula until they are completely integrated. If you find it very difficult to knead the butter cookies by hand, you can use an electric mixer, but you shouldn't have any problems.
  • Set the bowl with the dough aside and sift the flour along with the baking powder. This step is very important because it ensures that there are no lumps and we get a smooth and homogeneous dough.
  • Gradually add the flour to the mixture and stir until everything is completely integrated. The next step will be to wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for about half an hour. Ideally, form a ball or several small ones.
  • After this time, you can take the dough out of the fridge. To work, sprinkle a little flour on a flat surface and roll it out with a rolling pin. Make the cookies as thick as you like and cut them out using a cookie cutter in your favorite shape or with a glass to make round butter cookies. Start preheating the oven to 180 °C.
  • Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake them for 15 minutes, or until they are golden. Butter cookies bake very quickly, so you should keep an eye on the oven in case they need less time. If your oven has the option, set it to heat from the top and bottom.
  • When they are ready, take the tray out of the oven. You will notice that the cookies are a bit soft, but don't worry because that is normal. The best thing is to let them cool on a rack; you will see that as they cool, they become crispy. Just be careful not to burn yourself, so always use a spatula to take the freshly made cookies off the tray.
