Greek Butter Cookies
These Greek cookies are a beloved Christmas tradition! Greek households share tins filled with these buttery cookie delights with their neighbors during the holiday season.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
- Beat butter, sugar, and egg together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Blend in flour, then use your hands to form a soft dough. Take about a teaspoon of dough at a time and roll into balls, logs, or "S" shapes. Place cookies 1 to 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
