I tried making these butter cookies and they were delicious. I’m just wondering why my cookies do not get brown on the sides even I added more baking time? 17 minutes to be exact. On what rack should I put my cookie sheet inside the oven? For now I put it on the third rack.
Hi Gina. I noticed that the color and weight of the cookie sheets make a difference. (The lighter the weight and the darker the pan, the quicker they brown.) I always place the cookie sheet in the middle of the oven. I just keep checking them when it’s close to the time. I hope this helps.
I always put on second rack and comes out perfect.
I just made these cookies and they came out GREAT! I decorated my cookies with colored sugar. Please try!
This recipe is true to its title.. melt in our mouth. Butter cookies has always been my kids favorites. The cookies brown perfectly after 15 mins in the oven. I use a wide star nozzle and the cookies turn out to big😅
What have you used salter or unsalted butter ??
Always unsalted.
Hey :’) Can i use vegetable oil or flavorless oil instead of butter to get the same buttery flavor though the title says butter cookies because im in short of butter right now?
Hi,
No, in this recipe you can’t replace the butter with oil.
Btw whats the name of the background music u used?
I must be very weak because I can’t squeeze the batter out of the bag. What size tip is used? They are delicious but I can’t use a pastry bag.
Same thing happened with me.
Hi, can I use eggs in this recipe?
Hi, can I use eggs in this recipe?
Yes, but requiters changes. Why do you want to use eggs?
This recipes works perfectly without eggs.
Does this recipe require salted butter or unsalted butter?
Unsalted butter
What if you only have salted butter?
How long do you beat the butter and sugar for? And then how long again after adding flour I don’t want to over mix them
Can I use whole wheat flour in place of all purpose flour.
Can i replace all purpose flour to cake flour?
Hey, I only have Vanilla extract powder. Is it still okay?
can I use salted butter?

Hi 🙂
Can’t wait to try this tonight, in place of unsalted butter, can I use utterly butterly spread? Or can I only use real butter?
I only have a mini fridge. Could I put in freezer for 5-10 minutes instead
Thanks for the recipe
You’re welcome 🙂
Hihi, yr cookies looks amazing and so simple but i have a question
May i know for the heat element is top and bottom 170 degrees? With fan or without fan? Thks and appreciate 🙏🏻
Hi
I jade these yesterday, ans they were awesome! Great recipe!
Just one question, they did not save their shape during baking, any thoughts why?
I followed the recipe but the mixture was very thick and hard to pipe out. I added 10 tbsps of evaporated milk to the mixture which made it a little manageable. My husband had to use his muscles to pipe out the cookies. Where did I go wrong? Thanks.

Hi Leslie! I’m going to try to make these later today… but I’m writing you because I’ve been searching like crazy for a recipe that tastes like butter cookies I bought when I lived in Chicago. And they are from a bakery in Gary Indiana! I hope it’s the same bakery you’re referring to!!! Did these actually taste like and have the texture of those cookies you used to buy?
