Notes
The most important thing to know for making perfect butter cookies is the quality and temperature of the butter. High-quality butter is key because it significantly impacts the flavor and texture of your cookies. Room temperature butter is ideal; it should be soft enough to cream smoothly with sugar but not so warm that it becomes oily or melts. This ensures your cookies will have the right balance of crispiness and tenderness. Creaming the butter and sugar properly until light and fluffy incorporates air into the dough, leading to a finer texture in the finished cookies.
