Butter cookie

Alright kiddo, let me tell you all about butter cookies!

A butter cookie is a type of cookie that is made with butter. It's a sweet treat that can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert.

To make a butter cookie, you start by mixing butter and sugar together until it's creamy. Then you add flour and sometimes other ingredients like eggs, vanilla extract, or baking powder to make the dough.

Once the dough is made, it's rolled out and cut into shapes using cookie cutters. Some people like to sprinkle sugar on top of the cookies before baking them in the oven.

When the cookies are done baking, they should be golden brown and crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. Yum!

Butter cookies are a classic treat that can be enjoyed all year round. They make a great addition to any holiday cookie tray or can be eaten as a special treat whenever you're in the mood for something sweet.
