through the process!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup softened butter
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup salt (for stovetop cooking)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until fully combined. Once the dough is ready, transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
Step 2: Shape the Cookies
Pipe the cookie dough onto a round baking tray. Once shaped, place the tray in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes to chill. This helps the cookies maintain their shape while cooking and prevents them from spreading too much.
Step 3: Cook on the Stovetop
In a large pan, add 1 cup of salt to the bottom. Place a steaming rack in the middle of the pan and preheat it over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, carefully place the round tray with the cookies on top of the steaming rack. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 30-35 minutes on medium heat. If you prefer to use the oven, preheat it to 350°F and bake the cookies for about 15 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden on the edges.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Once the cookies are done, allow them to cool completely before serving. Enjoy your soft, buttery stovetop butter cookies!
These stovetop butter cookies are the perfect quick treat when you’re craving something sweet but don’t have an oven handy. They’re incredibly easy to make, and the stovetop method ensures that you can enjoy homemade cookies any time.
