Egyptian Butter Cookies (Betefour)

These cookies remind me of my childhood and my maternal grandmother. We normally had them on special occasions and holidays like Eid.

My happiest memories were dipping these cookies in chocolate and sprinkles as a kid.

Ingredients:

1 cup room temp butter (16 tbsp)

1 cup powdered sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 cup flour

2 tsp baking powder

Toppings:

Apricot Jam

Chocolate Chips

Sprinkles

Pistachios

Directions:

1. In a mixer, mis butter and sugar until creamy and thick.

2. Add eggs and vanilla and continue to mix.

3. In a separate bowl, mix flour and baking powder.

4. Slowly add dry ingredients to your mixing bowl until you form a dough. (Dough should be soft but not sticky).

5. Divide the dough in half and to the other half in the mixer, add cocoa powder.

6. Use a piping bag and any tips to make finger cookies, circles and thumb cookies.

7. Bake for 15 min at 325 degrees.

8. Allow to cool before dipping in chocolate and pistachios (my favorite combo).

9. you can also take two cookies and put apricot jam in between.
