Butter Cookies

Again, typical Xmas Cookies for us, there is no Christmas at home unless there's a batch of these cookies in the kitchen! I make them in at least 3 different flavors and my family loves them!
The recipe is quite simple and the flavor is neutral so you can add other ingredients to give them that little extra, I usually divide the dough and add some chocolate chips, pecans and peanut butter to it.






Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 200gr. unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 200gr pecans chopped



Directions
  1. Cream the butter together with the sugar in a large bowl. You want to get a creamy butter texture.
  2. Add the egg yolks one by one while mixing.
  3. Stir in the flour and pecans and mix together.
  4. Using a cookie cutter shape the dough and place on a cookie tray
  5. Bake the cookies for 10-15 mins until golden.



Tip: You can leave the pecans out to get neutral cookies, or you can divide the dough and add other ingredients to make different flavors cookies.
