Is there anyone who doesn’t enjoy butter cookies? You need to try this version of Butter Cookies also known as Pastisetas, as you will probably change your mind. These cookies have a tender interior that practically melts in your mouth, complemented by a slight crispiness on the outer layer. With their buttery richness, they make a delightful accompaniment to morning tea or coffee, or simply enjoy them as a satisfying snack.
The recipe is slightly different from other butter cookie recipes, as the batter is creamy and able to be piped. You need to work as quickly as you can as the batter can harden and makes the piping more difficult. You can make different shapes, and depending on the cookie size the baking time may vary as well.
These beautiful Butter Cookies or Pastisetas are one of the best butter cookies I’ve made so far, totally addictive and delicious.
How to make these butter cookies-Pastisetas
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, place the butter and use a hand mixer to beat it until creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing for about 12 minutes until the mixture turns white and creamy.
Using a spatula, gently fold in the flour until it is fully incorporated into the butter mixture.
Transfer the cookie batter into a piping bag fitted with a 1M (½ inch-1 cm) star tip.
Pipe the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, forming cookies of your desired size and shape.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the base of the cookies begins to brown.
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before serving. Enjoy these delicious buttery and vanilla-flavored cookies!

these look PERFECT! So buttery and amazing!
I’ve done this with piping bag (really hard to use), and also without the right (star) tip, but it was still delicious. Can I use this the next time (of course with star tip): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cake-Cream-Pastry-Injector-Decoration/dp/B007Q93AFU

Hi Giselle.

what kind of shelf life do these have? just curious. i made these last night and they’re so delicious, just like the ones you get in the christmas tins! i wanted to make these for goody baskets for christmas and was thinking since they don’t contain eggs they will probably last a while at room temperature?
