FAQ
What is the difference between shortbread and butter cookies?
Shortbread cookies have the highest ratio of butter to flour. … While butter cookies still have a high proportion of butter, the amount of flour and sugar is increased, which means they will hold their shape better than a shortbread.
Why are my butter cookies soft?
Mistake: When cookies turn out flat, the bad guy is often butter that is too soft or even melted. This makes cookies spread. The other culprit is too little flour—don’t hold back and make sure you master measuring. Finally, cookies will also flatten if placed and baked on hot cookie sheets.
How long will butter cookies last?
Butter cookies: Generally these are better a couple of days after baking but keep for at least 1 month (see also spritz, shortbread, Mexican wedding cakes, etc.). Fruitcake cookies: Depending on the recipe, you may be able to make these weeks or months ahead.
