Butter Cookies: Simple, Crisp, and Delicious

Begin by beating the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for the texture of the dough, so make sure to give it time to become airy and smooth.

Mix in the Egg:
Gradually add half of the beaten egg (you can reserve the other half for egg wash or another recipe) into the butter mixture, beating continuously until fully incorporated.

Add Dry Ingredients:
Sift together the superfine flour, potato starch (or corn starch), and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the butter and egg mixture. Be sure not to overmix; just stir until the dough comes together.

Shape the Dough:
Once the dough is firm and easy to handle, shape it into small rounds or use cookie cutters to form your desired shapes. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
