Yay Merry Christmas! I know this is after Christmas, but everyday can be Christmas hehehe, so for today we have a classic butter cookies recipe, as you can see they are perfect for using cookie molds, you can easily make a pile of cookies with all kinds of shapes and sizes, I made these cookies with my niece and I used some Christmas molds but also any shape she wanted to use, we also have some hello kitty and hearts ;D
A good tip is that like any butter cookies you have to be careful and handle the dough lightly, because you want the butter inside the dough not to melt, it’s also a good idea to make the dough the day before, wrap it up and leave it in the fridge and bake them the next day, so let’s get to the recipe!
