Butter cookies 牛油曲奇-simply buttery and melt-in-mouth !

Testing ! Testing ! I saw a lot of bloggers did this easy to make butter cookie, I gave it a try. Wor, this cookie simply taste buttery and melt-in-mouth. So I officially listed this cookie in my CNY cookie list. If Kuih Bangkit is too difficult for you, I suggest you to try this, very easy to do.

    Sonia, scary!!!!! I did the exact same thing today, different recipe but same piping. I didn't have cherry bits and use the exact same chocolate chips at the centre of my butter cookies too! I'll try to get that post up as soon as possible for you to see to believe it!!!! Great minds do think alike!!!!!

    A lot of hard washing to do becoz of butter.

    Hi Teo, you have to pipe it out but not roll them .. Fill the dough into piping bag that filled with large tip.

  54. teo ai liJanuary 22, 2013 at 2:15 PM

    Thank you for being prompt. I thought rolling them into balls are easier and faster and also, I am not good with piping. Anyway, thanks for coming to my help! Appreciate it!

    Hi Sonia,

    Thank you for the recipe. I have tried it and the cookies are very yummy...and they melted in the mouth! However, my cookies didn't hold their shape after baking...they flattened out. Did I overbeat the butter? Appreciate your advice!

    Florence, try to bake at the lower rack and low temp 150-160 C. The temperature mentioned in my recipe was referring to my old convention cum microwave oven..it might not suite to the normal oven..

    Hi Sonia, thanks for this easy recipe. I baked it last night and tonight. Love the melt in the mouth texture but tonight's batch was much fragile as it crushes if I am not gentle in holding the cookie. Do you know what is the reason? Does tenperature play a part as I lowered the temperature from 180 to 170 tonight.

    I used your recipe today but it turns out very bad, all piping shapes spread till flat and even I lowered the temp and baked at lower rack for the 2nd batch it still spread...is it because I used cake flour?? Or the hot weather does play a part??
