Easy Small Batch Butter Cookies
This recipe is adapted to make a small amount of cookies. It's
great for when it's just you and you need a quick sugar fix or you just
don't want a lot of leftovers.
This quick cookie recipe is also eggless and milkless for those looking
for vegetarian recipes or anyone short on ingredients.
Butter Cookies for One (or Two)
4 Tablespoons Butter or Margarine
3 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)
6 Tablespoons Flour
A Pinch (1/16 TSP) Baking Soda
Cream (mix) butter, sugar and vanilla together.
Add flour and soda. Mix well. Dough will be heavy.
Drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheet, press slightly with the back of a
spoon or fork.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
Makes about 8 to 10 cookies.
NOTES: You can mix this up in a small bowl for
easy cleanup.
Since it is a small recipe you can also bake this in your toaster oven!
Using margarine instead of butter will also work, but the taste
will change. Try a few drops of butter extract to make up for the
lost flavor.
Easy Cookie Recipe Variations
Almond cookies: Instead of vanilla use almond
extract. Add an almond to the center of each cookie for
decoration.
Nutty Cookies: If you have them, add up to a
tablespoon of finely chopped walnuts, almonds or other nuts.
Add a festive touch: Sprinkle with
colored sugar just after they come out of the oven. Their heat
will make the sugar slightly melt and adhere to the top. Try red
and green sugars for Christmas, silver or clear and blue sugars for
Hanukah or orange and black sugars for Halloween!
Confectioner's Sugar: A fine dusting of
confectioner's sugar after baking adds a nice touch too.
Good Luck and Happy Cooking!
