The Best Butter Cookie Recipe For Cookie Cutters

I’m about to do something that I never do lightly: share my family’s butter cookie recipe. This recipe comes from my paternal grandmother and was adopted by my mom inmy childhood. It’s our favorite family cookie and was usually the envy of all my friends. The best part about this butter cookie recipe is we’ve always used it for holidays, because no other cookie can compare when it comes to using cookie cutters. They always retain their shape, don’t expand while baking, are great for frosting and perfect for creating memories with your kids. I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine.IngredientsButter Cookies1.5 cups of unsalted butter, softened (3 sticks); I personally use margarine and it works great 1 cup sugar1 egg2 tsp vanilla extract1/2 tsp salt4.5 cups flourFrosting2 cups confectioners sugar1/4 cup butter (1/2 a stick)1 tsp vanilla1-2 tsp milkFood ColoringToolsMixerRolling PinCutting BoardWax PaperCookie CuttersSprinklesInstructionsCream butter and sugar.Make sure your mixtur...
