I have quite a few cookies recipes in my blog. But Its been a while since i baked some cookies.So decided to try out some cookies, i got so many request to bake some butter cookies from my viewers. So decided to try it. And my goodness the result was amazing. My little sister loved it so much, specially she liked the pure white colour of this cookies.
I used white butter in this recipe, but you could use yellow butter too. I think the colour may vary a little. I have plans to bake butter cookies with eggs too, will try that in the nearest future and let you know the results. So keep checking my blog and let me know if you try this..

Hi Aarti .. Your blog is great! I've used quite a few recipe. I had a doubt. Can the cookie dough be refrigerated if not being used entirely in the same day ? If yes how long would it be good in the fridge? Fridge or freezer?
@Shantalyes u can refrigerate it for a day i hope so.
Hi arthi,
Love ur blog, I have tried this recipe, but turned brown in 10mins time once I kept in oven. I have melted the butter and added, is it bcoz it turned brown?
@Anitha Sureshbabuu shouldn't add melted butter
Hi Aarthi I tried to bake the cookies but it got burnt in the bottom .. I lined the tray with foil .. And used the exact measurements and temperature .. Can u pls tell me what might have went wrong ..??? It tasted amazing except that the bottom started to burn after few mins and the top was still to cook .. I use a Morphy Richards OTG
