A very simple and delicious butter cookie, that will give you crispy, tender and flavorful cookies and will make your house smell like heaven while baking. They can be stored for a long time in a air tight container, for whenever you got your sweet tooth.
It does not need special equipment and you can make a batch very quickly, no need for waiting too long. The ingredients are simple, and you probably already have everything you need in your cupboard.
We don’t eat too many sweets in my home, but this is one of my partner’s favorite. He munches on them gladly and they are usually finished in a few days.
I hope you give it a go and let me know down in the comments if you liked it.
