These Butter Cookies, also known as Pastisetas, have a tender interior that practically melts in your mouth, complemented by a slight crispiness on the outer layer. With their buttery richness, they make a delightful accompaniment to morning tea or coffee, or simply enjoy them as a satisfying snack.
Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place butter in a bowl and use a hand mixer to mix until creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue mixing for another 12 minutes until the mixture becomes white and creamy.
Using a spatula incorporate flour into the butter mixture until completely combined.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a 1M (½ inch-1 cm) star tip.
Form cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the base begins to brown.
Let the cookies cool completely on a cooling rack before serving.
