Butter cookies, when made for kids, will probably be custom made depending on who we are making it for. Does the child love Unicorns? Or, a very specific Disney character? We can shape it to resemble anything that we want to. And, of course, we can color it the way we want to. And, the taste and flavors are also some important aspects that we need to consider.
You are free to put the flavor of your choice to make it more attractive to your kid. As for myself, a mother of two princesses (6 & 4 years), I have tried with the following combinations. Some of them were a hit among adults, and some were a hit among children.
- Vanilla
- Lemon
- Nutmeg
- Ginger
- Cinnamon
- Clove
- Orange/pomelo/lime
It is time to make some butter cookies. Here are the step by step directions.
INGREDIENTS
- 250g unsalted butter

DIRECTIONS

- Now the flour is added little by little until it is all integrated.
