Hey Viewers, I was just baking these cookies last month or this month since I hear stories about how popular butter cookies are in Denmark and Italy. Fortunately, my honorary aunt that is my Italian best friend has taught me the recipe for her biscotti al burro.

This batch is for 12 cookies really. I tripled the ingredients this month for my friends and neighbors.

1/3 cup of granulated sugar for one batch or 1 cup of granulated sugar for 3 batches
1 stick of butter for 1 batch or 3 sticks of butter for 3 batches
1 cup of flour for 1 batch or 3 cups of flour for 3 batches

Optional: in case one would like chocolate version of these cookies, add either 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder into the mix after one puts half of the dough into a separate bowl. This part I did in the photograph.

Start with a large mixing bowl and mix the white sugar and the butter with an electric mixer. After one is done, add the flour and proceed with the mixing. Either insert the dough into a piping bag with its nozzle... or tip for the shapes or refrigerate the dough and roll it with a rolling pin. After you are done, cut the dough into any shape with either a butter knife or a cookie cutter.

Add any topping like sprinkles or chocolate chips or a candied cherry on dough before the baking or leave enough space for any icing if you would like. Put the Cookies on the Baking Sheet. Preheat the oven to either 350° or 375° and insert the baking sheet with the cookies on it into the oven and let it bake for either 10 minutes or 12 minutes. After the baking part is done, remove the tray... or baking sheet... or pan if you have one from the oven and remove the completed cookies from the baking sheet... or pan with a spatula and let it rest on a cooling rack.

If you have any frosting, it is a good idea to add some. I don't put some icing or frosting on my cookies yet but I will soon enough. By the way, I mix egg whites and powder sugar into a proper icing last month and this topping is a successful one with an egg beater. The icing part is optional really. What do you think? Would you like to try it? Let me know in the comments below.
