Day 3 - 3 Ingredient Butter Cookies (No Eggs)

Day 2 of my "25 Days of Holidays Treats" 3 Ingredient Butter Cookies 

The cookies come out very crispy, buttery and sweet! This recipe is super easy and anyone can make it at home.

INGREDIENTS
    1 cup (230g) Butter, softened
    2 cups (250g) Flour
    2/3 cup (85g) Powdered sugar
Optional additions:
    Vanilla extract
    Salt
    Sugar for coating
DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. In a large bowl cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour and mix until combined. If the dough is too soft, add 2-3 tablespoons of flour
  3. 2 ways to shape the cookies:
  4. Shape the dough into a disk form, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Then, roll out the dough into 1/4-inch (1/2cm) thick. Then, cut into desired shape (hearts, round, rectangle).
  5. Roll the dough into a log shape, wrap it with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes. Then, unwrap and slice the log into 1/4-inch (1/2cm) thick slices.
  6. Transfer the cookies to the baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes, until slightly golden.
  7. Allow to cool.
Notes:

Cookies can be stored in an airtight container up to 3 days.
If the cookies are too soft, refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.
