Butter Cookies

• 50 grams Butter (unsalted or cultured)
• 50 grams White or powdered sugar
• 1/2 Egg
• 130 grams Cake flour

1. Combine softened butter, sugar, egg and sifted cake flour in a bowl in that order, and mix.
2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour.
3. If you are making a chocolate version, use 115 g of cake flour and add 15 g of cocoa.
4. Roll the dough out to 4mm thick, and cut the cookies into whatever shapes you like.
5. Bake for around 15 minutes in a 340F/170C oven.
6. For icebox cookies: After you have made the dough in Step 1, roll into a tube and chill in the freezer.
7. After it has hardened, coat the outside in granulated sugar.
8. Cut the dough into 5 mm slices and line them up on a baking tray.
9. Make a slight indentation in the middle.
10. Bake for around 18 minutes in a 340F/170C oven.
11. They're done.
12. I used a cat-shaped cutter, so I drew the faces on them with chocolate.
13. This is an icebox cookie version.
14. They are simple and delicious.
