Whip cookies, also known as whipped shortbread cookies, are a delectable dessert comprised of butter, powdered sugar, flour, and flavorings. The dough is beaten until light and fluffy, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture, hence the name “whip” cookies.

Here’s a basic whip cookie recipe:

Ingredients: 1 cup (2 sticks) melted unsalted butter

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar – 2 cups all-purpose flour – 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (other tastes include almond or lemon extract)
  Food coloring, sprinkles, or other decorations are optional.

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius). Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
2. Cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together in a large mixing mixer until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon to make this.
3. Stir in the vanilla essence to the butter mixture until well mixed.
4. Stir in the flour gradually, mixing thoroughly after each addition. The dough will be soft and crumbly, but when squeezed, it should come together.
5. If desired, apply food coloring at this point. It should be equally dispersed throughout the dough.
6. Roll tiny amounts of the dough into balls or shape them into the chosen cookie form. To make different designs, you can use a cookie press or a piping bag.
7. Arrange the cookie shapes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them because they will spread slightly.
8. Decorate the cookies as desired with sprinkles or other decorations.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden in a preheated oven.
10. Remove from the oven and rest for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully.

Enjoy your tasty whip cookies! They are ideal for any occasion or as a sweet treat to accompany a cup of tea or coffee. To make them even more unique, experiment with embellishments and flavors.
