Butter Cookies
Description
The recipe for Butter Cookies starts with creaming together unsalted butter and sugar, then adding water and almond extract for flavor and moisture. Flour is incorporated last to form a firm dough that holds shape during baking.
Small balls of dough are placed on a buttered cookie sheet and pressed flat with the back of a fork, creating the signature texture on top. Baking at a moderate temperature allows the cookies to cook evenly, developing a pale golden color without browning too much.
The resulting cookies have a soft crumb with a subtle sweetness and buttery richness highlighted by the almond extract. They are simple to prepare and make a traditional, delicate cookie ideal for tea time or gifting.
