Multipurpose butter cookie dough from Cook's Illustrated Annual Edition 1996 by Cook's Illustrated Magazine

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • ashallen on August 31, 2019

    My husband loves these classic butter cookies - I've made them many, many, many times. Excellent butter flavor and crisp. Unlike some other thinly rolled cookies, these are sturdy enough to pack well and survive road trips intact. They maintain their shape very well during baking, staying flat and keeping any details along their edges. I've had better luck browning them evenly in my oven by using insulated cookies sheets vs. single layer sheets. Even if they overbrown, however, their flavor's still delicious!
