For a beautiful finish, decorate with edible glitter or a simple cookie icing. I love simple baking, the kind of baking you can involve the whole family with. These cookies are always a huge hit and don’t last more than a day in our house. These butter cookies are perfect for lunch boxes, bake sales or an after school snack. Just remember, they’re not just for kids, adults will love them too!

Unlike their sugar cookie counterpart, they have more fat content and aren’t rolled out and cut out. These butter cookies are baked in a molded pan making them a nice uniform shape.

Step by Step Instructions

Whisk together the flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a medium mixing bowl and set it aside. Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and combine. Add flour to the mixer on low, mix until fully combined. Turn the mixer to low and mix in the flour until combined. Place approximately 4 tablespoons of the mixture into the cavities of the cookie pan. Press the dough evenly into the pan, filling each cavity to the top. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies are golden brown. For a beautiful finish, decorate with edible glitter or a simple cookie icing. Serve and enjoy!
