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!

https://www.thetaylor-house.com/vanilla-butter-meltaways/2/
The recipe for this is WAY better off Pinterest!
Go up on the bar and you should see Home, Start Here ,Recipes, click on
Recipes and that should take you to where you will be able to see cookies, it took me a while but I found it and then scoll down where it says print and then you can print it
Approximately how many dozen cookies does this recipe make? Also, how long do I let the cookies ‘finish’ baking on the cookie sheet once I remove them from the oven?
Thanks very much!
https://www.thetaylor-house.com/vanilla-butter-meltaways/2/
These cookies turned out perfect.. Delicious!!
★★★★★
.. & some almond flavoring always helps 👍🏻😊🎄
Sift dry ingredients next time
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.
★★★★
How many cookies does this make?

There’s no recipe on here want to try send me the recipe thanks
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.
Look really good. I would love to try them
can these cookies be baked a little longer and then removed from the sheets so I can continue baking with the same results. Seems time consuming to let them sit to finish baking. How many cookies does this recipe yield? Thanks
Has anyone made these and had any luck,I wanted to make them but after reading the comments I’m not sure?
I made these in November and they turned out great! I chilled them for a few minutes before baking. I am about to make more for Christmas cookies!
★★★★★
I’m making them now. Had trouble flattening them out…little too wet. Sprinkled flour on top to help. After 7 minutes, they were not nearly done. Just added 6 more minutes..we shall see.
our cookies came out of the oven looking really nice, and then flopped… flatter than a penny….. so what did we do wrong.. we follow3ed the directions… to a T
would like vanilla butter meltaway cookie recipe
I can’t get the recipe for vanilla butter melt away cookies to come up. Could you advise me on how I can get it
I am beyond frustrated. I’ve clicked on everything I can find in this article and still can’t get to the recipe. I would love to try it, but you have it too well hidden.
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.
★★★
The standard for baking is that ingredients should be at room temperature when baking unless the recipe states it should be cold or melted.

I want a written recipe for the vanilla butter meltaways this site does not give it to me.

I am not seeing the recipe for the vanilla Butter melt away cookies. I would like to make them.
I can’t seem to find the recipe, possibly the advertisements are covering up?
The receipe indicates you can use almond or peppermint extract, is is instead of the Rodelle Vanilla or in addition to the Rodelle Vanilla?
Lots of ppl r having a hard time finding the recipe. Click on the word page under the spoon. I did and I got the recipe
1. When making the Vanilla melt away butter cookies , what if you don’t have a stand mixer?
2. Can these be made using GF all purpose flour?
3. Can they be frozen? Need to make 8 dozen

WAnted to know if I could substitute the flour with gluten free flour? My daughter has a allergy to gluten but I still would love to make these cookies!
My cookies fell completely flat. Any advice?
Check the expiration of your soda or powder (baking)

My did too.. Help

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!
Can you help me? I want to make these cookies, but on the frosting it says one pound powdered sugar? Is that accurate? Thanks!
Yes, usually one bag is one pound and powdered sugar really “shrinks” up when you add the liquids!
I tried the vanilla butter melt away cookies, and subbed out with peppermint, Delish.
The only problem I had was all the irrelevant advertising on your site, it makes it hard to read recipe and article. Other than that, really good cookie.
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.
I was super excited to try these but they basically melted in the pan into one giant puddle of cookie….slime 🙁 the batter tasted delicious though. I followed the recipe to a T, and I’ve re read it a dozen times but I can’t figure out what went wrong.
How long do I leave these on the cookie sheet after removing from the oven? (You say they continue to cook on the sheet so I don’t want to try to remove them too soon!) Can’t wait to try these. I mixed the batter and have it sitting in my refrigerator awaiting your reply 🙂
luv+
Do you have to use that kind of vanilla? Can I use just plain vanilla extract? Whats th difference?
The Rodelle Vanilla is organic, you could use plain vanilla extract as well.
I cannot bring up the recipe for vanilla butter melt away cookies. Please advise bc I would love to try them. Thank you.

I can not bring up the vanilla butter melt away recipe.I’v tried 3 times. Is any one having this problem?
I can’t get these wonderful cookies recipe up either. So sad.
I cant find the recipe Please help me find it
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.
These cookies look so delicious!
