Simple Butter Cookies Recipe
1. 70g butter, softened until smooth (should press easily without resistance).
2. Add 40g powdered sugar and mix well.
3. Gradually add half a beaten egg (divided into 3 additions; egg should be at room temperature to prevent butter from hardening).
4. Sift in 160g cake flour (low-gluten flour)and mix until just combined (avoid overmixing to prevent gluten development).
5. Place dough between parchment paper and roll to 2-4mm thickness. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
6. Once chilled, the dough should be firm. Press cookie cutters lightly dusted with flour for easy release.
7. Chill cut-out cookies again for 15 minutes (prevents spreading and keeps designs sharp).
8. Baking Instructions:
- Air Fryer Method: Preheat to 170°C (340°F), bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake 3 more minutes.
- Oven Method: Bake at 150°C (300°F) for 15-18 minutes, watching for golden edges.
If you want to decorate with icing, mix 150-200g powdered sugar, one egg white, and a small amount of lemon juice. Then, tint with food coloring as desired
