3 Ingredient Mini Butter Cookies

 Looking for bite sized cookies? Then I have you covered with my easiest ever, 3 ingredient mini butter cookies. Light, deliciously buttery and crisp, these make perfect cookie jar fillers, tea time treats or great to share as gifts.

These 1 inch (2cm) little delights, bursting with amazing flavor are made with just 3 basic ingredients.

Melted butter, powdered sugar and flour are all you need to whip up a batch of these cookies.

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

▢1 ½ cups all purpose OR cake flour OR plain flour

▢½ cup powdered / confectioners sugar

▢⅔ cup melted butter

Instructions

Add powdered sugar to a medium sized bowl

Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before combining with the powdered sugar.

Whisk to combine, then add flour.

Fold in the flour with a spatula to form a soft dough.

Scoop dough out a slightly heaping ½ teaspoon at a time and drop onto your baking tray lined with parchment paper. Shape each into a ball

Use a fork to lightly flatten each rolled out dough. Each cookie should be at least 1 inch (2cm) round.

These cookies have minimal spread when baking. If you are worried though about the cookies spreading while baking, simply pop the baking sheet with the shaped cookie dough into the fridge for about 15 minutes before baking.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated oven of  356° F / 180° C (160° C fan) until the cookies are lightly browned. The cookies will still be soft when you take it out of the oven, but will crisp as it cools.

Storage

Leave the cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
