I was flipping through an old church cookbook (I think from the 70′s) and found a simple recipe for buttercrisp cookies. I’d never heard of them much less tried them, so I thought I would give them a try one afternoon. Because of the holidays, I knew they had to be Christmas Buttercrisp Cookies, so I added some festive sprinkles to them and they turned out super cute.
Honestly, they were just okay for me. I liked them, but I think I prefer a regular cookie, but these were a nice change from a traditional cookie. The kids seemed to agree with me. There isn’t anything wrong with them, but I think I prefer a homemade sugar cookie. On the plus side, they were super easy to make. They ended up crispy and very delicate. I bet they would make a great cookie for a tea party. Since butter is the main flavor of these cookies, please please please use a good quality butter (don’t you dare use the m*** stuff….that’s like a 4-letter word in my house).
Although, I will take ANY homemade cookie to a store bought cookie any day. Have you ever had a buttercrisp cookie?
Blend first four ingredients. With greased hands, shape into 1 inch balls. Roll in sprinkles and place on baking sheet. Chill for about an hour.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove from refrigerator while oven preheats. Flatten with floured tines of a fork. Bake for 10-20 minutes. Cookies should remain a little color. Don't overbake. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

A great addition to the buffet table this year!
Those look very good!
Buttercrisp cookies are one of my favorites! You did a good job by adding some sprinkles, I recommend cinnamon for your next buttercrisp cookies. And yes, use a good quality of butter.
These sounds so delicious!
I will be for sure making these this Christmas,thanks.
