Danish Butter Cookies Made Simple

When winter's chill sets in and you don't want to head out why not bake some from-scratch Danish butter cookies?

They're super easy, and most of us have these ingredients on hand.

Perfect with a cup of hot cocoa!

Enjoy!

We sugared ours with pink...think Valentine's Day!

Basic Butter Cookie
1 stick of butter
1 cup of flour
5 tablespoons of sugar
1/4 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine softened butter with sugar, salt, and vanilla.  Gradually add in the flour.  (If mixture is too soft, place in refrigerator for a few minutes.)

Roll into quarter-size balls and place on cookie sheet.  Press down with fork.  Sprinkle with crystal sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
