Ingredients:
- 1 cup of butter 🧈
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar 🥄
- 2 eggs 🥚
- 5 cups of flour 🌾
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cream the butter and sugar. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar until creamy and well blended. This step lays the foundation for the rich, buttery flavor of the cookies. |
| 2 | Add eggs and mix well. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. This contributes to the cookies’ moist and tender texture. |
| 3 | Add 1 cup flour at a time and mix completely. Gradually add the flour to the mixture, one cup at a time, stirring until fully combined. This helps to achieve the perfect dough consistency for rolling and shaping. |
| 4 | Chill overnight. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up. This step enhances the texture and flavor of the cookies. |
| 5 | Roll dough out on cornstarch to 1/4-inch thickness. On a surface dusted with cornstarch, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. This ensures uniformity in the cookies’ size and thickness. |
| 6 | Cut or roll into small balls in the palm of hands. Use cookie cutters or simply roll the dough into small balls using the palms of your hands. Get creative with shapes and sizes to personalize your cookies. |
| 7 | Roll in ground nuts or coconut. For added flavor and texture, roll the shaped dough in ground nuts or shredded coconut, pressing lightly to adhere. This step adds a delightful crunch and nutty sweetness to the cookies. |
| 8 | Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the aroma of freshly baked cookies filling your kitchen! 🍪 |
