Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on high speed for a full 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl halfway through the mixing; the butter should be very light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on medium speed until well combined. Add half the dry ingredients and beat on low speed to combine. Scrape down the mixing bowl before adding the remaining dry ingredients and beat to combine. Refrigerate for 1 hour in the bowl for drop cookies, or form into a 1-inch log for slice-and-bake cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the turbinado sugar in a small bowl. For drop cookies, scoop the cookie dough with a 1 tablespoon-size cookie scoop and then dip the tops of the cookie dough balls into the sugar. Place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- For slice-and-bake cookies, cut the log into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Press the tops into the sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies until slightly puffed and lightly golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes.

WORLD'S BEST BUTTER COOKIES
I tested 8 different butter cookie recipes, looking for the "perfect" butter cookie. It had to be buttery, a little crumbly (like shortbread), and not too sweet. This is the winner. I think these are the Worlds Best Butter Cookie, courtesy of Chef Alice Medrich.

Steps:
- Beat the butter, sugar, salt and vanilla together until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the egg yolk until well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl at least once.
- Add the flour and mix just until incorporated.
- Scrape onto a lightly floured board and knead a few times, just until the dough smooths out.
- Turn onto a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a log, wrap up and refrigerate for several hours or freeze.
- Before baking, preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Line your baking sheets with parchment.
- Slice the dough into slices about 1/8" thick and place them on the sheets about an inch apart (they won't be spreading very much, but they need air room around each cookie).
- Bake until JUST beginning to turn golden around the edges, about 16-18 minutes.
- Note: you can do many things with these cookies.
- You could roll the dough out and cut shapes.
- You could slice them even thinner and sandwich them with chocolate or jam or lemon curd.
- You could make them and then dip them half into chocolate.
- You could just make them and eat them, which is my favorite.
- Whatever you do, they will be delicious.

Steps:
- Position racks in the center and top third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium speed until well blended, about 2 minutes; scrape down the bowl.
- Beat the eggs and vanilla in a small bowl. Add to the butter mixture and blend well; scrape the bowl again. On low speed, add the flour mixture and beat until just mixed; scrape down the bowl. Add the chocolate and optional nuts and mix until incorporated into the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake, switching the position of the sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking, until the cookies are golden brown but the centers seem slightly underdone, about 13 minutes. Do not overbake or the cookies will be crisp throughout instead of chewy. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely. The cookies will crinkle as they cool. (Store at room temperature in airtight containers for up to 1 week.)

Steps:
- Beat the butter in a large bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar, granulated sugar and salt and continue to beat on medium speed until pale and creamy, 2 minutes. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla and egg; mix on low to incorporate. Add the flour, beating on low speed until just incorporated (a few streaks is fine). Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in the chocolate chips.
- Turn out the dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap, form into a disk and wrap tightly. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Generously dust the dough and work surface with flour. Roll out the dough to a 1/3-inch thickness; if the dough cracks around the edges, simply press it back together. Use cookie cutters to cut out the desired shapes. Place the cookies, 1 inch apart, on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake until just beginning to brown around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through.
- Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before removing the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
THE BEST CHOCOLATE BUTTER COOKIES
The declaration in the title is from Cook's Illustrated magazine, source of this recipe. Vanilla sugar cookies are fine for cut-out cookies, but I am a chocoholic and these cookies are for me! :) Note that regular unsweetened cocoa powder will work in this recipe and instant coffee powder will also work in a pinch. The dough may be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 weeks, Defrost frozen dough in the fridge overnight, then let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes until firm yet malleable. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container up to 3 days. Dust or glaze them the day they are served.

Steps:
- Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add cocoa and expresso powders; stir until mixture forms a smooth paste. Set aside to cool, about 15 minutes.
- In bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, mix remaining 16 tablespoons butter, sugar, salt, and cooled cocoa mixture on high speed until well combined and fluffy, about 1 minute, scraping sides of mixing bowl once or twice with rubber spatula. Add yolks and vanilla and mix on medium speed until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape sides of bowl. With mixer running on low, add flour in 3 additions, waiting until each addition is incorporated before adding net and scraping bowl after each addition. Continue to mix until dough forms cohesive ball, about 5 seconds. Turn dough onto work surface; divide into 3 4-inch disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate until dough is firm yet malleable, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Roll 1 dough disk between 2 large sheets of parchment paper to even thickness of 3/16-inch. (If dough becomes soft and sticky, slide rolled dough on parchment onto baking sheet and rechill until firm, about 10 minutes.) Peel parchment from one side of dough and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutter(s) Use a thin metal spatula to transfer the cookie shapes to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gather dough scraps and chill to use again.
- Bake about 10-12 minutes. The cookies will offer slight resistance to the touch when done. If they yield too easily, they are underdone. If they begin to darken on edges they have overbaked. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking time. Cool for 5 minutes, then, using the spatula, transfer them to wire rack and cool completely,.
- VARIATIONS:.
- Instead of forming dough into disks, you may form it into logs about 2 inches in diameter and 12 inches long. Wrap with plastic wrap to make a nice cylinder. Chill until very firm; then simply slice dough into 1/4-inch slices as you would refrigerator cookies. Continue as above.
- Cookies may be served plain or dusted with sifted powdered sugar. The logs of dough may be rolled in sanding sugar or chopped nuts just before slicing.
- Make a glaze by melting 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate with 4 tablespoons unsalted butter and whisk until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons corn syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla land mix until smooth and shiny. Use back of spoon to spread scant teaspoon glaze to edge of each cookies. It may be necessary to reheat glaze to keep it spreadable. Allow glazed cookie s to dry at least 20 minutes.
- Mexican Chocoate Butter Cookies: Combine 1/2 cup sliced almonds, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne in a medium skillet. Toast until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool; then process in a food processor until very fine, about 15 seconds. Follow recipe above for Chocolate Butter Cookies, whisking nut mixture into flour before adding flour to dough in step 2. Proceed with recipe. Roll dough into log and roll the log in 1/2 cup sanding sugar.
- Glazed Chocolate-Mint Cookies: Follow recipe above for Chocolate Butter Cookies, replacing the vanilla extract with 2 teaspoons mint extract. It is nice to melt 1 cup white chocolate chips and drizzle over glazed cookies. Let dry at least 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 and set aside a greased cookie sheet.
- In one mixing bowl combine the coconut flour, almond flour, xantham gum, salt, baking soda, unsweetened coconut, dry pudding mix, coffee and cinnamon in one bowl. I've found that mixing the dry ingredients with my hands or sifting them really helps eliminate any extra clumps and helps aid in the awesomeness of the cookie. Set the bowl of dry ingredients aside.
- In a mixer add the butter and mix by itself until the butter is creamy and the color slightly changes to more of an off white yellow. Approximately 3 minutes.
- In the creamed butter bowl mix the peanut butter and both swerve granulated and Swerve brown sugar. Whisk 4 eggs together in a separate bowl. Add the whisked eggs, vanilla and almond extract to butter mixture until smooth.
- Slowly cup by cup mix the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients.
- Hand mix the chocolate chips into the wet ingredients.
- I've found that freezing the dough for 15 min prior to baking has provided me with easier dough to work with.
- Place cookies on greased cookie sheet making rolling them to 1 1/2 balls.
- Take a fork and slightly press down on the cookie. These cookies barely expand. Don't be afraid to place them closer together on the cookie sheet.
- Bake at the 15 minutes.
- Allow them to cool and enjoy!
