Danish Butter Cookies

Simplicity is the best! This danish butter cookies were so awfully addictive that me and my kids just polish it off within 2 days :) This is a type of cookie that I will make over and over again as it is effortless to bake it and super yummy!

Butter softened in room temperature for over 24 hours, only needs a couple of whisking and the dough comes together in less than a min!?

After baking...but  first batch not browned enough so I increased the baking time slightly for subsequent trays :)
