Vanilla Butter Meltaway Cookie

December 12, 2018   |   109 Comments

Last week I was so excited to share our Christmas Sweets & Treats series that I’ve partnered with Rodelle this holiday season!  Our first recipe for Vanilla Cranberry Chocolate Chip Truffles was a huge hit with my family and readers too!  Be sure to check it out if you haven’t already (I’ll link all the recipes at the bottom of this post).

 

 

Today I have a Vanilla Butter Meltaway Cookie that’s topped with a Creamy Vanilla Butter Frosting.  These are one of my very favorite cookies to make, in the past, I’ve made them with almond extract and last Christmas I used a Peppermint extract.  Both were delicious but I’m really a vanilla lover so this version was my favorite!  Check out the recipe below! click

    I added 2 tablespoons more of flour, chilled the dough for 15 minutes (most cookies require this to come out best, even Tollhouse). I also added 1 minute to the bake time at 350*. They came out perfect.

      1 Cup Unsalted Butter
      1 Cup Sugar
      1 Egg
      1 Teaspoon Rodelle Vanilla (I buy mine HERE on Amazon)
      1/2 Teaspoon Salt
      2 Cups All Purpose Flour
      1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
      1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
      Instructions

      Step 1 – In a stand mixer cream together the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy

      Step 2 – Add the Egg and Vanilla to the sugar mixture

      Step 3 – Next add the Flour, salt, soda and powder and combine well

      Step 4 – Create 1-inch cookie balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with Silpat.

      Step 5 – Flatten the cookies using the bottom of a glass and bake at 350 for 7 minutes.

      Pull the cookies out when they appear to not be cooked completely, they will continue to cook on the pan.

    It would be great to add what temperature the butter is supposed to be when beginning to whip with sugar-I used mine right from the refrigerator and never got the mix to fluff until after adding the egg and vanilla so not sure if that was right because it took a long time to blend with the sugar since it was so hard.
    I added 1/4 tsp of Almond extract in addition to the vanilla. I think the flavor improved, but I would have loved a more buttery flavor considering the name of this cookie.
    Also probably should say “scoop” instead of “create” 1″ balls so people don’t try to roll with their hands as it is a semi-wet mix, and mention to wet the bottom of the glass when using to flatten the cookies so the dough does not stick. Not everyone is a seasoned baker. You really do need the frosting to kick up the flavor on these cookies.

    I made these cookies last night… but when I followed the recipe, my dough was like chocolate chip cookies consistency – way too soft to roll into balls. I added sugar, flour and BS/powder and vanilla to get it to the right consistency, but I am wondering if you have this problem or if your recipe is missing something or incorrect? I could probably freeze it and roll it that way but I didnt see that in the directions. Thanks!

    OK I had to come back and post an update. I refrigerated the remaining dough and then rolled them into balls once they were well chilled, and baked for seven minutes and they look pretty good this time 🙂 so maybe my dough was too warm, and the butter had gotten overly soft.

    These cookies are just sweet. Quite literally and look super easy to make. I’m particularly intrigued with the vanilla butter frosting. I’ve tried so many cookie frosting but they never seem “quite right” to me. They are always just a bit off. The sprinkles on top are adorable. Off course, you’re talking a a baker who has “forgotten” to add yeast to baked product, opps. Still tasted good in a really flat way!

      Add a dash of salt to the icing. I have made a butter cream icing many times and once I added the salt, in really gave a better balance. I also like to add almond extract along with the vanilla.
