Melt in your Mouth Butter Cookies (Only 3 Ingredients!)

Ingredients

• 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

You have options for making the cookies:

1. For piped cookies: Put the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip. Pipe swirls or rosettes directly onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between cookies.
2. For simple round cookies: Scoop out a tablespoon-sized portion of the dough and roll into small balls. Place them on the baking sheet and flatten each slightly with a fork or the bottom of a glass.
3. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Avoid overbaking; the cookies should remain pale and tender.
4. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
