Pipe 5cm / 2-inch circles onto the baking sheets. Leave enough room between each cookie to give them room to puff up and spread. Large piping nozzle - It's best to use the large, wide piping nozzle to pipe the cookie dough into the iconic ring shape or rosettes. This type of the nozzle will also create the signature ridges on the cookie rings, which will trap the crunchy sugar topping. Use an open star tip, like Wilton 6B, Wilton 8B or Ateco 868. The universal Wilton 1M will also work, but you may have to add more milk to the cookie dough, if using it (because it is a narrower nozzle, it will be harder to pipe the dough through it). This is an easy butter cookie recipe to mix together; the only extra step is piping the dough into circles, which gives them that characteristic swirl look. Let’s discuss! For rich, creamy and milky flavors, I strongly recommend using heavy whipping cream. You may use regular whipping cream. Vanilla extract – This optional ingredient really enhances the flavor. I say “optional” but I never leave it out.

I LOVE receiving recipe requests from readers because they often spark a forgotten memory and allow me to recreate something that I otherwise may never have attempted. Add the softened butter to a large bowl along with the powdered sugar. You can use granulated sugar, if you do, I recommend only using 1/3 cup. But you certainly can use a half cup of it as well. TIP: You can add an egg to the dough, which will produce a smoother texture and make it easier to pipe, but you can also keep it entirely eggless if you want. Spice it up - Add a pinch or two of cinnamon or cardamom to the cookie dough for more delicious flavour. Sift the flour and salt into the mixture and use a rubber spatulato fold together until just combined. Do not overmix it!The primary flavors in this cookie are butter and vanilla, so you’ll want to use good quality ingredients! TIP: If you forget to set your butter out to soften, you can put it in the microwave on defrost mode for 20 or 30 seconds to soften it up. A lot of times they have large granulated sugar sprinkled on as well. You can certainly do that if you like or use normal granulated sugar.

It is very easy to make- You only need 30 minutes and a few easy steps to prepare the cookie dough. The rest of the time is to wait for the dough to freeze, bake, and set. Pipe the dough using a star nozzle. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Frequently Asked Questions Can I Use Salted Butter? Flour alternatives- Try this recipe using a small amount of almond flour for a hint of sweet almond flavor. You can also use cake flour. Or why not try these Self Rising Flour Biscuits for a savory version? See my flour guideto learn more about the different types of flour and how to use them in baking. 🎓 Expert tipsUnsalted butter- Always use unsalted butter to fully control the amount of salt in the recipe. I prefer butter with 82% fat content in my recipes as it gives baked goods the best taste and texture. You can also make your own homemade butter. The butter needs to be at room temperature.

Butter - Use a good quality, unsalted butter. To stay as close to the original recipe as possible, I'm using Lurpak (Danish butter), which is higher in fat content, due to the additional churning. Salted butter will also work, just skip any extra salt from the ingredients.

Milk- I recommend milk with high-fat content for the best taste and texture. I use 3% whole milk in my recipes. Like the butter, the milk needs to be at room temperature. The butter cookie recipe is made with only few, very simple and basic ingredients and it's great to prepare in advance. You can dip them in some melted chocolate, and decorate with some festive sprinkles, but they are just as delicious plain, or with a little sprinkle of sugar on top.
