Butter cookies originated in Denmark in the 1800s and quickly spread throughout Europe and America. They became holiday staples because of their simple ingredients, ease of baking, and ability to be decorated for special occasions. Many families, like mine, added their own touches, making them personal and unforgettable.
🧩 FORMATION (How These Cookies Come Together)
These cookies are built in classic, comforting layers:
Creamed butter and sugar for soft, tender texture
Egg and vanilla for richness
Flour mixture folded in for structure

¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar

In a bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
