BUTTER BALL COOKIES

Also called powdered sugar cookies. These are excellent! Make these at Christmas for sure! For a double recipe, I use 1 1/2 cups butter and 1/2 cup home-rendered lard.

Provided by mary Armstrong

Categories     Cookies

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c powdered sugar
2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 c chopped nutmeats
1 c butter, room temperature
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Mix like pie crust; add egg, salt, vanilla.
  • 2. Stir nutmeats into dough or top each with a half of a pecan.
  • 3. Roll into walnut-size balls. Flatten very slightly.
  • 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Cool. Roll in powdered sugar. Store in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Butter: Opt for unsalted butter to control the level of saltiness in the cookies. Soften it to room temperature for optimal blending.
  • Accurate Measurements: Use a kitchen scale to ensure precise measurements of ingredients, especially flour. This will guarantee consistent results.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in tender cookies.
  • Chill the Dough: After mixing the dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
  • Preheat the Oven: Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking. This ensures even cooking and prevents the cookies from over-browning.
  • Bake in Batches: If baking multiple batches of cookies, rotate the baking sheets halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
  • Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents breakage.
  • Store Properly: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and following these essential tips, you can create perfect Butter Ball Cookies every time. These cookies are not only delicious but also visually appealing, making them ideal for special occasions or gifting to loved ones. Experiment with different flavorings and decorations to create unique variations that cater to your taste preferences.
