Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for delicious butter cookies that you can make at home:

Ingredients:

– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

– 1 cup granulated sugar

– 1 large egg

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– Optional: Sprinkles, chocolate chips, or any other toppings for decoration

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be soft and not sticky.

6. If you plan to use toppings like sprinkles or chocolate chips, now is the time to gently fold them into the cookie dough.

7. Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls (about 1 inch in diameter). You can also use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies.

8. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.

9. Optionally, you can gently press down each dough ball with the back of a fork to create a classic cross-hatch pattern.

10. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.

11. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on it for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Once cooled, enjoy your delicious homemade butter cookies!

These butter cookies are perfect for any occasion, and you can store them in an airtight container for several days. Feel free to get creative and add your favorite flavors or toppings to make them uniquely yours!
