These are piped using Wilton 6B

Butter Cookies – improved formula
Ingredients: (quantity in pink yields exactly 1 large tub)
250g unsalted butter, softened to really soft but still cold (200g)
215g Potato Starch (180g)
150g All Purpose Flour (120g)
75g Icing Sugar (60g)
3/4 tsp salt (1/2 tsp)
Method:
Use a stand mixer to cream butter and icing sugar until just blended, about a minute. Add the whole lot of sifted flours and mix for another minute with mixer before switching to spatula mixed until dough is evenly combined.
Transfer some dough into piping bag fitted with piping nozzle and pipe out cookies on to baking sheet.
Baked at 145C for 40 minutes or according to your preference on the color of your cookies.
These cookies are easy to handle without leaving much crumbs, yet melt in mouth and crispy at the same time. Yum!
Note: Modified to icing sugar as some feedback find it too crumbly when using caster sugar.

Hi Lily, Did your cookies kept their shape after baking? Mine are not crumbly at all. In fact, they are quite firm and easy to pack.

Hmm…strange because I can stack my cookies without having to put a layer of paper in between each layer to support the cookies which I usually do for crumbly type.

Overbeat your butter so dough is too soft. Can try to reduce the potato f lour and replace with plain fflour say about 20grams.

Yes, you have over beat your butter. You only need to beat it until creamy enough not fluffy like baking a cake.

Most likely you under beaten your butter. Keep on mixing the dough until it’s softer then try again.

Trying your this recipe yesterday, i tried to use cookie cutter turn out good but need to work fast cause the dough may turn soften after sometime. I did put in fridge for half an hr then roll out to cut. Not sure you hv any advice to prevent the dough turn soft/ sticky when cutting on it?
