Crushed butter cookies
Description
Crushed butter cookies are delicate, golden crumbs with a distinct buttery aroma and a crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Their appearance ranges from fine sand to larger pieces, adding a pleasant texture and appetizing color to dishes. Nutritionally, they are a source of carbohydrates and fats, providing calories and small amounts of protein and minerals depending on the recipe; they also contain saturated fats from butter, so it’s best to consume them in moderation as a quick energy source or flavor enhancer. In the kitchen, they work well as a base for cheesecakes and tarts, a crumble topping for desserts, a base for culinary crumbles, and a crunchy addition to ice creams, yogurts, and fruit salads. Store them in an airtight container in a dry, cool place away from light; cream-filled cookies should be kept in the refrigerator, and they can be frozen for longer storage while maintaining the seal of the packaging.
