Butter Biscuit 3-Ingredient Cookies
It started during a small family trip, and we were all tired but also a little hungry, so we didn’t want anything complicated, and honestly, who does when you’re on holiday, right
I remember opening the kitchen bag and finding just butter, sugar, and flour, so I thought, okay, why not try something simple? And guess what, the first batch got a bit too brown, and I laughed because, typical me, but the second try turned out so good, and everyone was surprised
Have you ever had that moment when something super basic turns into the best thing ever, because that’s exactly what happened, and the kids couldn’t stop eating them, and I kept thinking why didn’t I make these sooner?
It’s funny how food brings back memories, and now every time I make these cookies, it reminds me of that cozy trip and the little kitchen and all of us waiting near the oven just hoping they don’t burn again 😄

👩🍳 How to make 🍪 Butter Biscuit?
Step 1: Preheat the Oven 🔥
Turn your oven on to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper so your cookies don’t stick.

In a big bowl, add the softened butter and sugar. Mix them until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. This step helps make your cookies soft and delicious!
Step 3: Add the Flour 🌾
Slowly add the flour to the bowl. Mix gently until a soft dough forms. At first, it might look crumbly—don’t worry, just keep mixing until it comes together.
Step 4: Shape the Cookies 🍪
Take a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball using your hands. Place it on the tray. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Step 5: Flatten Them ✋
Use a fork or your fingers to gently press each ball down. This gives them that classic biscuit shape.
Step 6: Bake ⏲️
Put the tray in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes. The edges should turn lightly golden.
Step 7: Cool Down ❄️
Take the cookies out and let them cool on the tray for a few minutes. Then move them to a rack to cool completely.

kcalIngredients
🧈 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
🍬 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
🌾 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
Directions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper so your cookies don’t stick.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and sugar. Mix them until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. This step is important because it helps give the cookies their soft texture.
- Next, slowly add the flour to the bowl. Mix everything until a soft dough forms. It might look crumbly at first, but keep mixing gently until it comes together.
- Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls using your hands. Place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each one. Gently press each ball down with a fork or your fingers to flatten slightly.
- Bake the cookies in the oven for about 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake them, as they should stay soft and tender.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps them firm up while still keeping their buttery softness.
