Since I was visiting my brothers in Ohio last weekend and seeing the new house they bought for the first time, I decided to do something I rarely ever do and bake some cookies. I know — revolutionary.
I found a recipe for 3-ingredient butter cookies on A Cup of Jo a while back and have been wanting to try them, and since I
already had two out of the three ingredients in my kitchen, I decided
to give it a shot. The recipe was straightforward and very simple; the only
hard part was stirring in the flour using a spatula and my extremely weak arm ;)
I wasn’t sure how I’d like the taste of them since it’s just
butter, sugar and flour, but they were rich with just the right amount of sweetness.
The only downside? The recipe only made about 20 cookies… So if you’re planning
to make these for a holiday party (which I definitely am!), I would recommend
doubling or tripling the recipe (they're also bite size). You can have fun adding garnishes for
different tastes and looks. I used mint-chocolate chips on my first batch.
Have you made butter
cookies before? What are your favorite toppings to garnish them?
