🍪 Recipe: Butter Cookies That Melt Like First Love

There’s something truly comforting about classic butter cookies. Maybe it’s their soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture, or that rich buttery taste that feels like a warm hug.

These cookies are simple, but they have a way of bringing people together—whether it’s at a holiday party, a cozy family gathering, or just a quiet moment with coffee.

What makes them so lovable is how easy they are to bake. No fancy ingredients, no complicated steps—just butter, sugar, flour, and a touch of vanilla. That’s it. And yet, they turn into something magical in the oven.

For many of us, butter cookies carry sweet memories: grandma’s handwritten recipe, the shiny cookie tins during festive seasons, or baking with friends on a lazy afternoon. You can enjoy them plain or dress them up with sprinkles, jam, or chocolate—either way, they always feel special.

Today I want to share something soft and sweet — a butter cookies recipe that feels like a gentle hug. These cookies are easy to make, but they carry a lot of feeling.

Every bite is warm, like a memory of someone you liked in school. You know, that kind of love that makes your heart smile without saying a word.

I made these cookies on a quiet afternoon, thinking about someone I used to like. The butter was soft, the sugar was sweet, and my heart was full. I hope when you make them, you feel the same — calm, happy, and maybe a little bit in love.

💡 Why the Butter Cookies Feel Like Puppy Love

• Simple and sweet: Just like a first crush — soft, easy, and unforgettable.
• Smells like comfort: Butter and vanilla make your kitchen feel like home.
• Melts in your mouth: Like a shy smile from someone you care about.
• Perfect for sharing: Give them to someone you love, or someone you want to love.

🧈 Ingredients (for 40–50 cookies)

• 100g unsalted butter, soft like your heart
• 40g powdered sugar, sweet like a love note
• 100g all-purpose flour
• 50g cornstarch (makes cookies soft and light)
• 3 egg yolks
• Optional: 1 tsp vanilla or a little lemon zest

👩‍🍳 How to Make Butter Cookies with Feeling

Step 1: Mix butter and sugar In a bowl, mix soft butter and powdered sugar. It should look smooth and light — like your mood when you hear your favorite song.

Step 2: Add egg yolks Add one yolk at a time. Mix gently. The color turns golden, like sunshine on your face.

Step 3: Add flour and cornstarch Sift the flour and cornstarch. Fold it in slowly, like writing a love letter.

Step 4: Shape the cookies Use a piping bag or roll the dough into small balls. Make flower shapes, hearts, or anything that feels like you.

Step 5: Bake Heat oven to 170°C (340°F). Bake for 15–18 minutes. When the edges turn light brown, they’re ready. Let them cool before you taste the love.

💌 Tips from your baking friend

• Use good butter — it makes everything better.
• Don’t mix too much — cookies need softness, just like feelings.
• Add vanilla or lemon zest if you want a little sparkle.
• Keep cookies in a box. They stay good for 7 days, but usually disappear in 2 😋

Baking at home is a great way to relax and have some fun, especially when you get to share your homemade treats with friends and family. There’s something extra special about pulling freshly baked cookies or cakes out of the oven and seeing everyone’s faces light up as they take a bite.
