Vanilla Butter Meltaway Cookie
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!

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
How can you double this recipe for the Vanilla butter cookies??? Sure would like to kbow
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 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!
