These buttery cookies are really easy to make and quick to whip up. I like them with a hint of dark chocolate drizzled on top. Serve with a cup of tea or coffee.
Recipe:
1 cup butter,
1/2 cup icing sugar,
2 cups flour,
a little chocolate to melt and drizzle on top
Whip the butter and sugar together for a couple of minutes, it should look light and fluffy. Then stir in the flour until it just comes together to form a soft dough. Shape and bake at 350f until golden at the edges.
Once they are cool you can drizzle them with a little melted chocolate if you’d like. I put them in the fridge to firm up on a plate. Since the chocolate is melted it is no longer in temper and will melt a little to the touch. (Tempering chocolate is a whole other step and isn’t really necessary in this case. If you were mailing them it might be a good idea though. You can read more about tempering in our recipe section under “truffles”.)
