Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup icing sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine all ingredients and mix for a FULL 10 minutes.
  • Yes, I said a full 10 minutes!
  • Mixture will start out very dry and crumbly but will become batter like after the full 10 minutes.
  • I like to use my stand mixer for this, but a hand mixer will do the trick if it is a strong one.
  • Drop from teaspoons or a piping bag onto a cookie sheet, I find teaspoons work best.
  • Decorate with maraschino cherries or sprinkles if you feel fancy.
  • Bake for approx 15 minutes or until bottoms are very lightly brown.
  • Watch that the tops don't turn brown!

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help the cookies be tender and flavorful.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown: This will help the cookies be soft and chewy.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help the cookies firm up and develop their full flavor.
