Our cookie jar is empty.... GASP!

Easy Butter Cookies

It's never happened before but I think me being a little under the weather, I didn't pay attention to it, so I'm refilling it with some quick and easy butter cookies.

  2. Those look so yummy. Wish I had a few and a nice cold glass of milk!
    I love the fact it is egg less because we don't always have eggs on hand and those would be the perfect treat to whip up when the sweet tooth attacks and we don't have eggs.

  12. Hi there!

    I came across your blog and saw that you enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes. Stonyfield Farm makes Oikos Organic Greek yogurt which can be used in a variety of ways while cooking – in baking, as a substitute for sour cream and mayonnaise, in dips and sauces and to create tasty low-fat dishes. Greek yogurt is strained, making it thicker and more versatile in recipes than regular yogurt. Oikos is organic, which means it's made without artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners, and it's made from organic milk produced without the use of toxic persistent pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, or artificial growth hormones (rBST). We feel that organic is not only better for you, but better for the planet as well.

    I'd love to send you some coupons to give Oikos a try. If you're interested just send me an email at Kdrociak@stonyfield.com and let me know where to send them.

    Take care,
    Kristina

  19. Hi: I looked for your email address. My name is Al Malekovic (al@countrybobs.com) and I represent a very, very small company called Country Bob's, Inc. We are making a great sauce called, "Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce" and we would like to get the word out about our product.
    I know that review blogs are a great way to get information to the general public. I conducted a google search for food blogs and your name came and after looking at your blog, I was wondering if you would be interested in trying my sauce and perhaps reviewing it for me.

    If you send me your name and address via e-mail, I would gladly send you a recipe brochure along with two bottles of Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce in hopes that you would write a review.

    If you would like more information, I would be glad to respond to any questions you might have. In fact, if you are interested in interviewing me after you've sampled the product, I would gladly make myself available!

    Thank you for your consideration. www.countrybobs.com We also have two two bottle give a ways for your blog.

  20. I love the simplicity of this recipe, I have all of the ingredients on hand.
    I wonder what these would be like with a little cinnamon?
    Must add this to next weeks menu!
    Thanks Sandra, keep up the good work!

  21. well there's one way to consume a stick of butter :)

    I've got a batch in the oven now, and wondering how they would be made with almond extract

  22. Sandra,

    I tried to make these cookies but they just melted into flat buttery blobs in the oven. Where did I go wrong? I used the correct measurements. Is your stick of butter smaller than mine?

  23. Oh my! These look so good!
    Wanted to let you know I'm featuring your sweet and spicy chicken again over at The Krazy Kitchen on Monday :-)

  24. Sandra, I made these up last night and I love the simplicity of the recipe.
    Not only did it take hardly any time to whip up but it took even less time to devour the delicious treats!

  25. Just wanted to let you know that my little ones have become ADDICTED to your butter cookies. Seriously.

    Must be their Danish heritage...LOL!

    Simple recipe...simply delicious!

    Blessings,

  28. Very unhappy with this recipe. I did the exact measurements with checking and rechecking. This made a crumbly mess. It wouldn't even roll into a ball. With my husband unemployed I tried to find a recipe that included the ingredients I have on had. I wasted every ingredient on this. Disappointed.

  29. I made these tonight. Nice taste, but not as easy as the recipe makes out. The dough was too soft, so I stuck it in the fridge while I washed up dinner plates.
    Then it firmed up nicely, and I was able to quickly work with my hands to roll and shape them. However, they melted in the oven, flattened out and stuck to one another. I took them out after 11 minutes, they were slightly golden. But VERY SOFT. The good thing about this was that I was able to separate them with a knife with minimal damage. On cooling, they firmed up. Slight soft bite to them.
    VERY LOVELY TASTE. But recipe is not informative. It yielded 18 cookies. And my husband made fun of the way they looked, but went back for a second one.
