Senn High School Chicago Butter Cookies image

This is the actual recipe used in the Chicago public schools, my Mom was the manager in the cafeteria for many years. This recipe was also published in a Chicago newspaper as one of the favorites. The cookie has a wonderful butter flavor and very delicate texture. Have one with a little carton of milk and you will feel young again. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus extra for topping the cookies
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Overall, I'm happy with how these cookies turned out. They're a little time-consuming to make, but they're worth the effort.

I don't think I'll be making these cookies again. They're just not my cup of tea.

These cookies are a bit bland for my taste. I might try adding some spices or extracts next time.

My cookies turned out a little too brown. I think I cooked them for a few minutes too long.

I had a hard time getting the cookies to spread out. I ended up having to press them down with a fork.

These cookies are a little sweet for my taste, but they're still delicious. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I love the nutty flavor of these cookies. The walnuts add a nice crunch and flavor.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making other recipes, and these cookies are a great way to use them up.

I've tried several different butter cookie recipes, and this one is by far the best. The cookies are perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

I'm not usually a fan of butter cookies, but these are an exception. They're so light and fluffy, and they melt in your mouth.

These cookies were a hit at my holiday party! They're so buttery and flavorful, and they have a nice crispy edge. I'll definitely be making them again.
