Eggless Melt in Your Mouth Butter Cookies.

Eggless butter cookies are among the easiest butter due to the few ingredients that are used and the few steps followed to achieve the perfect crunchy cookies.  Put butter in a bowl at room temperature then add sugar and start to whisk until smooth and light. Add vanilla essence and continue to whisk. Start adding dough slowly to the soft mixture while you continue to whisk. Add the rest of the flour until it is smooth.

You can use a spatula in this process to mix the dough. If you want the cookies to appear in another colour, you can use food colour but for brown cookies, you can add cocoa powder for a perfect brown color.

 

Using a piping bag with any tip you like, add the mixture to the piping bag and on a baking sheet, place your desired quantity of cookie dough in a line. Bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius until the cookies turn golden brown. You can see them through the oven as they bake. Once done, place the cookies in a cooling rack before serving with milk. Enjoy.
