These delicious cookies are a cross between shortbread and sugar cookies, but much richer than sugar cookies, softer than traditional shortbread, and incredibly satisfying.
Ingredients
Directions
Irish butter cookies have a simple kind of magic—the kind that comes from using rich, golden Irish butter that gives every bite a melt‑in‑your‑mouth tenderness. The dough is sweet but not too sweet, letting the buttery flavor shine the way it’s meant to. As they bake, the edges turn lightly crisp while the centers stay soft and delicate, creating that perfect balance of texture. Elegant enough for gifting yet cozy enough for an afternoon treat with tea or coffee. Every bite tastes like pure, buttery goodness.
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream together 1 cup of softened room-temperature butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add in vanilla extract, mixing again until fully combined.
Next, gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mixing until just combined.
Measure out the cookies with a tablespoon, then roll them into balls and lightly press them into disks. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes just until the outer edges start to brown slightly.
Cool on a parchment paper-lined countertop or a baking rack.
Enjoy!
