Classic Sugar cookies

I made these butter cookies today for my daughter.I thought i would make some 
shapes this time.Since i didnt have a cookie cutter i used my daughters play dough 
cutters/shapers.My whole family loved it and it was all gone within minutes.Trust me its damn so good.Its worth a try.













Ingrerdients :

Unsalted Butter - 8 ounces (1 stick)
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
Egg Yolk - 1
Unbleached All Purrpose Four (Maida) - 2

Step1 :
Beat the butter, sugar, salt and vanilla together until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the egg yolk until well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl at least once.
Add the flour and mix just until incorporated.








  • Step 2:
    Scrape onto a lightly floured board and knead a few times, just until the dough smooths out.

    Turn onto a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a log, wrap up and refrigerate for several hours or freeze.




    Step 3 :
    When required take the dough out from the rerfrigerator and Slice the dough into slices about 1/8" thick .
    I rolled the dough and using play dough cutter i cut them to different animal shapes and baked them.
    ( To roll the dough,once take out from the refrigerator smash the dough with your hand for a while and then
    roll then using a rolling pin)

    Step 4 :
    Place them on the sheets about an inch apart.




  • Step 5:

  • Preheat the oven to 355°F.

  • Bake until JUST beginning to turn golden around the edges, about 16-18 minutes.


    Super delicious butter cookies are ready!!!!!!!!!
