My Favourite Butter Cookie Recipe

My Favourite Butter Cookies – Happy New Year to all my dear Subscribers and Friends! I hope to bring you more wonderful treats recipes. I do understand cookie recipes are very easy with simple few ingredients. However, the precision of ingredients and method used will result in the outcome you desire. So here is my favourite version of butter cookie recipe. Enjoy!

FAQ: Why my cookies flattened while baking in the oven?
It might be due to the butter's condition. The consistency is very important if you're piping these cookies. Solution: You can fold in 1 or 2 tbsp of flour, then check if the consistency is slightly thickened. Do not over add the flour. Another way is after piping, you can pop them into the fridge for about 30min, just to hardened it a little, then bake it. If you find after adding 1 or 2 tbsp of flour is comfortable you can bake it straight away.

Ingredients:
this recipe yields about 20-22 cookies

113g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
60g (1/4 cup+1 tbsp) fine sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
125g (1 cup) cake flour
16g (2 tbsp) cornstarch

Piping tip: 1M

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven at 170°C/340°F.
2. In a large bowl, add the room temp (or softened) butter. Add sugar and salt. Mix them using a spatula so that the sugar the fly out. Then switch to an electric mixer. Mix until creamy, pale and fluffy.
3. Add the yolk, cream and vanilla extract. Mix till combined.
4. Sift the cake flour and cornstarch in 2 batches. Fold in using a spatula. Sift the remaining dry ingredients until the flour disappear.
5. Transfer the dough into a piping bag. I am using 1M tip. Double up the piping bag if yours is thin like mine. A thin piping bag will cause breaking of the bag. Also it will ease your piping.
6. Bake in preheated oven at 170°C/340°F for about 15-18 min. For 15min, the cookies might be softer than 18min bake, so it really depending on how crispy you desire your cookies to be.
7. Let it cool completely.
8. Cookies are ready to serve.

A tip from a retired baker; when you pipe the cookie dough on a greased baking tray you will see that the cookies bake more evenly and better. So better not use baking parchment for these type of dough.

No annoying music. No endless chatter. Therapeutic video with recipe in the description 👌🏻

I appreciate the frugality of scraping ALL the butter off of the packaging, I am ocd when it comes to getting every bit of ingredients...no waste allowed. :)

We love these cookies! We didn't have cake flour, so I took one tablespoon out of the cup of all-purpose flour I had, and added in one extra tablespoon of cornstarch. We also added a small dollop (1/4 tsp) of raspberry jam to the center of each cookie before baking, for a touch of extra color and sweetness. It really took it over the top!

No talking; just demonstration. I love it.

Hands down best cookie recipe ever. Turned out perfectly delicious in first attempt.

[muhammadalhikma]

Assalamualaikum. Bismillah. When you scrapped all the butter it means you appreciate every bit of food given to you by the all mighty. This should be the gesture shown to Allah for every bit of favour that he has done for us. May Allah guide us all so that we can be his guest in Paradise one day.

The type of cookies I will never get tired of eating

I tried this recipe with all purpose flour and used water instead of cream. The batter turns out to be A LOT thicker and it’s hard to squeeze out so I added about 3-4 table spoons of water in place of cream in total. I also added additional 10 grams of sugar because I thought the recipe needs more sweetness. This recipe makes about 30 cookies. The cookies turned out amazing so you don’t NEED cake flour or cream to make this.

Wonderful. I love that there’s no commentary. Just clear, simple written instructions. Too many cooks love the sound of their own voice I’m afraid. I have subscribed. Thank you.

Those were always my favorite. When I was a kid- I used to stop by the town bakery every day on my way home from school and get 1 of those cookies. They were soooo soft they melted in your mouth. Takes me back to my youth 50 yrs

[aafsterlife]

This is how one should bake: calmly and serenely.

[darnagutter]

The general quietness of your video was blissful. I will be trying this recipe very soon. Thank you. 😊

You really can't go wrong with this receipe. I had light cream and not heavy cream in my fridge. I had salted butter and not unsalted ones. The cookies still turned out to taste really good.

I made it, but since i have celiac, i changed the recipe and used gluten free flour instead of regular flour, and it turned out perfect. Usually it doesn't work when you use regular recipes, and then switch the flour, but it worked! And i love how straight to the point the video is, no talking, just going straight to the recipe. Thanks for this amazing video! Loved the cookies sooo much!!!🩷
