Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) good-quality unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on high speed for a full 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl halfway through the mixing; the butter should be very light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on medium speed until well combined. Add half the dry ingredients and beat on low speed to combine. Scrape down the mixing bowl before adding the remaining dry ingredients and beat to combine. Refrigerate for 1 hour in the bowl for drop cookies, or form into a 1-inch log for slice-and-bake cookies.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the turbinado sugar in a small bowl. For drop cookies, scoop the cookie dough with a 1 tablespoon-size cookie scoop and then dip the tops of the cookie dough balls into the sugar. Place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • For slice-and-bake cookies, cut the log into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Press the tops into the sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies until slightly puffed and lightly golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter: This is important because the saltiness of salted butter can overpower the delicate flavor of the cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to create a smooth and creamy cookie dough.
  • Use a fine-mesh sieve to sift the flour before measuring it: This will help to ensure that the cookies are light and airy.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just beginning to brown around the edges: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These rosebud butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their delicate flavor and beautiful appearance, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special cookie to make, give these rosebud butter cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
