Simple Vanilla cookies: When simple ingredients make a little miracle

Simply is the best ^^, nothing can make people happy more than delicious simple sweet.

I know that there are many times that we love to have something special, elaborated decorated cake, beautiful icing sugar cookies or patisseries style entremets. But when thinking about the real deliciousness, we don't need anything much. Simple ingredients like sugar, flour, and egg can crate magic. 
Many of us used to this little cookie when we were young (my family got so many boxes of this cookies every months, ^^"). But when we grow older, we need more smoother taste of this little cookie. So, I make this recipe from the fact that I want to eat simple and delicious cookie with smooth flavor and right texture, not too hard or too soft. After 3 batches of simple cookie, finally I get what I want, ^^. This cookie is very easy to make, it use ingredients that most of us have in the our kitchen. Try this recipe and you will be wondered how simple ingredient can crate delicious cookie. 
I think you can serve it with anything that you want, tea, coffee or even milk, and it makes great gift too.

  4. Hi,
    The almond powder is the same as the almond meal.

    Hi, mariona Rubio
    It's my pleasure.

    Hi, Marcella
    The problem can come from 2 points.
    1. Beating the butter too much will make cookie spread in the oven as you add a lot of air in to it.
    2. Your flour is lighter than mine, you can solve this problem by adding 5-10 g of flour in to the dough.
