Butter cookies
Description
Butter biscuits are delicate, slightly crumbly cookies with a subtle buttery flavor and a golden, matte appearance with a smooth or lightly patterned surface. Their texture is crumbly but not dry, with a pleasant aroma of butter and minimal sweetness, making them a versatile addition to beverages and desserts. Nutritionally, they mainly provide carbohydrates and fats, along with a moderate amount of protein; butter contributes fat-soluble vitamins (e.g., A) and minerals, but due to their high calorie content, it's advisable to consume them in moderation or choose versions with reduced sugar and whole grain flour. In the kitchen, butter biscuits pair wonderfully with coffee and tea, serve as a base for cheesecakes, the crust for cookie tarts and cold desserts, and as an accompaniment to ice cream, jams, or creams. They are best stored in an airtight container in a dry, cool place, separated by layers of paper to maintain their crispness; they can also be frozen for a few weeks to extend freshness.
