Butter Cookies Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com

Recipe here: www.joyofbaking... Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make butter cookies. When you want a buttery sweet cookie, with wonderfully crisp edges, try these Butter Cookies. They are very nice with a hot cup of tea or to serve alongside a bowl of sorbet or fruit salad. I think the best way to describe them is to say they are like a sugar cookie only not as sweet. You can form the batter into a log shape so you can slice and bake the cookies on demand, or you can chill the dough and roll it out to make cut-out cookies. Before baking you can sprinkle the cookies with sparkling sugar or chopped nuts.

Thank you for this recipe of one of my favorite cookies. I'm making an effort to avoid all store bought baked goods and your videos are a huge help. I have been baking for years, but sometimes, the thought of baking seems time-consuming and tiring. Then I watch your videos and am reminded that it often doesn't take much time, and the taste is many times better than what the stores sell. I'm baking these wonderful cookies at this very moment to take to a friend tomorrow.

[@prashanthsaseedharan]

I have been using a similiar recipe for years but I add a bit of oil . I also add orange juice. Comes great every time.

[@deborahbowdidge7303]

Love ALL yr recipes,my fave cook,so hi from london,i made the lemon drizzle this morning for a family dinner,looks lush! ty

[@cookierecipes1851]

I love your recipes. I would love to achieve what you have done one day. I'm cookie mad and am always looking for new ideas.

[@joyofbaking]

As long as the weight of the flour is correct (295 grams), it doesn't really matter if you sift the flour. Not sure why you would need to add that much extra flour though.

[@nandhi19]

Thank you for the delicious recipe😊 It tastes awesome😍👌🏽

[@crazygirls1223]

Just made these , I think i have gone to food heaven! Thanks for sharing

[@EponaLives]

Thank you Stephanie for the great recipe, Big Like as always from me :)

[@joyofbaking]

If you don't chill the dough, then the cookies will probably spread during baking.

[@melishahitz4021]

[@siakoberliane5655]

Thanks for the sweet recipe. But just wanted to find out , Isnt it necessary to add in baking powder into the butter cookies mixture???

[@dianaford9917]

look so good I had to give a thumb up and subscribe to you my first time on your channel

[@DEBORAHADURAN]

I wanted to wish you all a Happy and a Healthy New Year

[@kells2828]

Hi Stephane . I love your mixer . What brand is it please and what do you love the most about it . Was there any special reason why you purchased it , thanks for all your demonstrations . I am a huge fan .

[@joyofbaking]

I use a Kenwood Titanium Chef 5 quart mixer. Kenwood is the only mixer I've ever used. My mom used one when I was a kid and I've been a loyal Kenwood user ever since. I find it a very sturdy mixer (they last a long time) and I find it easy to use.

[@pernanjp]

Since you're on the subject, would you say that it's very strong? For example, would it handle a stiff bread dough well?

[@aartimadan7118]

Loved the recipe. Can I add the nuts in the dough itself? Kindly confirm

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, you could do that.

What brand of scale do you use? I am trying to find one that doesn't take a ton of space? Thanks.

[@sallyabrokwa1668]

can I bake immediately shaping them out with a cookie press

[@Akshayashivaraman]

Please can you tell me what could be substituted instead of egg in this recipe.

[@lizybizy09]

Steffy, do we preheat the oven?? Or straight away plc the cookies for 10-14 mnts??

[@joyofbaking]

Preheat until your oven indicates it is up to temperature.

[@lizybizy09]

Thnks dear!!

[@lizybizy09]

Hi thr, today I tried ths cookies ,but didn't kno to preheat , kept for 12 mnts, whn got cool,tasted, it was still uncooked inside, so kept again for few mnts, now let's see,if they are baked..

[@nancyfriedberg9516]

Has anyone used a mandolin to cut them?

[@SenorDedoVerde]

Instead of regular butter I used cannabutter, best damn edibles I've ever had.

[@jrvdl8]

haha that sounds fantastic :)

[@kellyphan1044]

Hi I would also like to ask if I want to dip the butter cookie into chocolate, do I need to freeze it? Would it turn soft after I freeze it?

[@joyofbaking]

It would depend. If you temper the chocolate, then the chocolate will become firm, even at room temperature. However, if you simply melt the chocolate, I would store the chocolate dipped cookies in the refrigerator. Otherwise, after a couple of days the chocolate will have a white bloom.

[@sairakhan28]

Can I use ghee butter

[@joashgoh883]

Hi Stephanie, if i want to do it with a cookie cutter, do i need to chill it overnight as well? Thanks!

[@joyofbaking]

+Joash Goh I would just chill the dough (this would take just a few hours) until firm and then roll it out.

[@joashgoh883]

+Joy of Baking Hi Stephanie! Thanks for the input! So does it mean I just have to chill it say 3 hours and I can roll it out and cut it up with the cookie cutter? Would you recommend that I pop them back into the fridge again before baking?(:

[@ginamichelle6119]

+Joy of Baking I have cute fluted shortbread cutters I like to use. Although, I prefer to let my dough chill overnight before using a cutter.

[@Note-gw6yt]

how much flour did you give?

[@melduran9611]

The dough didnt come like yours, mine was sitcky, really really sticky. I followed everything right how you mentioned :( Anyway, they have a great great flavor, but not a nice appareance I will try again 😁

[@naqibah781]

Try adding more flour

[@yulianeshanty8708]

Mine too is really sticky

[@Al-isme]

hi,may I ask you something??? can use icing sugar??? PLEASE REPLY

[@joyofbaking]

+Allison Lee Yes, you could use icing sugar.

[@rosabaddoo2704]

Where do you get icing sugar

[@Lilac3_]

your local grocery store, walmart, dollar general, etc. It's also called confectioners sugar just to avoid confusion.

[@holland1904]

Do you have a recipe for pecan sandies?

[@joyofbaking]

Debbie Holland I'm sorry, but I don't have a recipe for pecan sandies. Although the Mexican Wedding Cakes are very similar. Just use chopped pecans. And there is a recipe for a Pecan Shortbread which, again, is quite similar.www.joyofbaking.com/Mexican%20Wedding%20Cakes.html

[@rachelinocencio03]

Why did mine turned out wet like a piping consistency???? I just followed the recipe and i don't know what happened. I just hope they will harden up so i could cut them.

[@joyofbaking]

+rachel inocencio I would try refrigerating the batter until firm.

[@fatemapoonawala7093]

Can I add choco chips in it???

[@joyofbaking]

Yes you could do that.

[@joatot1178]

can i do this without a mixer?

[@joyofbaking]

+Joa Tot Yes, you could mix the batter with a wooden spoon.

[@cookwithme8415]

Without egg possible?

[@joyofbaking]

If you left out the egg, then it would be more like a shortbread cookie. I do have a shortbread cookie recipe. Here is the link. www.joyofbaking.com/shortbreads/shortbreadcookies.html

[@giftybaze4338]

Pls can someone hlep me did she add salt

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, there is salt in the recipe. Here is the link to the written recipe. www.joyofbaking.com/ButterCookies.html

[@MaxGamer-mc3xg]

is it 227 grams for the butter ?

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

great but you didnt taste em! 12:28 puppy alert!

[@MillikanVersuch]

Thank you Stephanie! Another successful receipe of yours. My daughter and I made 2 batches using your recipe. We added green color and pushed them through cookie gun for Christmas tree shaped cookies, decorated with powder sugar and some with colorful sprinkels. Awesome, easy and so much fun to make them. You are the go-to person for everything "sweet". And thank you for not assuming everyone has a professional mixer :)

[@Lita2908]

i love how she converts all the measurments and the temperature directly, it makes my life easier :)

[@angelonjohnson5381]

Omm%

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, you could do that.

[@minimalisticjoy628]

Every time I make these cookies, I have nothing but compliments. Then I will show them this recipe. Thank you!

[@ummmomen]

thanks for the video. I chilled the dough overnight & I just baked the cookies. it turns out so nice.

These look delicious! Thanks for the wonderful demonstration. You are truly THE BEST! Can't wait to make them... :)

[@ruthdoyle5997]

You are the best Stephanie you explain everything so well and all your recipes turn out perfectly .I made the shortbread tart shells and the pastry was delicious melt in the mouth

[@taranmpa4212]

Made these for Diwali for my friends and family and they were a hit. I make them regularly for us to go with tea. They were absolutely delicious..I followed the recipe start to finish

[@kyafikaloo7268]

Taran MPA does it taste eggy? Would like to try her recipe but I'm afraid I will hv it come out tasting of egg. I tried another recipe, I didn't like it. It was a much softer mixture, not firm like this 1

[@lml7]

@@kyafikaloo7268 always use vanilla to mask the eggy taste

[@Rayis4444]

Ultimate recipe! Made them today. Perfect amount of sugar. Well balanced. I just baked them for longer to make them crunchier. Loved it! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@joyofbaking]

I don't know whether your flour is labeled, but you need to use a flour with a 10-12 percent protein content.

[@marthaalwalid505]

Love the recipe so easy,did a little experiment added a forth cup of cream cheese with the butter,turned out beautifully,and some lemon zest

[@joyofbaking]

If the dough has been well chilled, they won't spread very much.

[@bethd9160]

Added these to my annual Christmas cookie baking. They are crazy delicious.

[@farnooshamini100]

Dear Stephanie, I’m a huge fan of yours from Iran. I’ve started baking your recipes ever since I’ve found your page( my aunt abroad introduced your page to me), and I love love love your page and the way you bake and teach. I’ve made theses butter cookies and they were just per-fect! I want to bake the chocolate cupcakes for today! Thank you for your generosity in teaching. Thank you indefinitely.

[@joyofbaking]

I've never tried making these cookies with cake flour, so I don't know how they would be.

[@philipgrobler7253]

You have a sort of "Carol Burnett" going for you, so sweet 😤

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, you could use brown sugar.

[@kitchen_magic]

Hi Stephanie, I enjoyed your videos and all the clear instructions. Can this cookie dough be used for piped cookies or used for cookie press? Thank you!

[@joyofbaking]

You could pipe it. Not sure if it’s soft enough for a cookie press as I’ve never tried that.

[@rumshafarooqui4943]

If I am not decorating cookies with sugar or nuts , still do i have to egg wash them for shinning or not ?

What if I use less sugar? I haven’t made this receipt but normally I feel store bought butter cookies are too sweet for me so I’m wondering how these compare on sugar level?
