Graded according to flavor, color, texture, aroma and body and one easy way to tell the quality of the butter is by the letter code or numerical number listed on the butter's package.The highest grade is labeled AA with a 93 score. An even better choice is to use a European-style butter which has a higher butterfat content. When you buy butter you have two choices; salted and unsalted. My preference is to use unsalted butter so I can control the amount of salt in the recipe plus I like its pure sweet buttery flavor.

Shortbread Cookies are delicious plain, but they are also very good when the ends of the cookies are dipped in melted chocolate. This shortbread is often called Royal Shortbread.

Divide the dough in half and then roll each half between two sheets of parchment or wax paper until it is about 1/4 inch (.6 cm) thick.

Then, taking one cookie at a time, dip one end of each cookie in the melted chocolate. Place it on a parchment lined baking sheet.

I think the best way to describe them is to say they are like an enriched shortbread cookie. This batter is so versatile. You can form the batter into a log shape to make slice and bake cookies, you can chill the batter and roll it out to make cut-out cookies, or you can make Spritz cookies using a cookie press. Once baked the cookies can be covered in a buttercream frosting or you can dip the ends in melted chocolate. Sometimes I even like to take two cookies and sandwich them together with jam, lemon curd, buttercream frosting, or a chocolate ganache filling.

Butter is the focus in these cookies and there are many high quality foreign and domestic brands to choose from. I like to use European-style butters (cultured butters) which have a higher percentage of butterfat which gives the cookies a richer flavor. You can use either salted or unsalted butter. My preference is unsalted as I prefer its sweet flavor and you can control the amount of salt in the recipe. Because the amount of salt added to salted butter can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Butter Cookies: In the bowl of your electric stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract (if using).

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat just until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.Divide the dough in half (350 grams for each half) and shape each half into an 8 inch (20 cm) log (round or square) that is about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until firm (at least two hours or preferably overnight). (Can freeze the unbaked logs for up to two months.) Once the log is firm, with a sharp knife, slice cookies about 1/4 inch (.5 cm) thick. If desired, you can sprinkle chopped nuts on the tops of the cookies before baking.

They have a lovely sweet and buttery flavor with a texture that is tender crisp. As their name implies, Spritz is German for spritzen meaning to squirt, which is exactly what is done with this cookie dough. By that I mean we make these cookies using a cookie press (gun). Here is the link to the cookie press that I used in the video #ad. This device has a cylindrical barrel with an easy-to-squeeze trigger or press, that squirts the soft dough through a decorative template giving us all sorts of wonderful looking cookies. You can make wreaths, flowers, trees, rosettes, stars, and stripes, to name a few. And while they are delicious plain, you can also
