How to Make Irish Butter Cookies
- Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted.
- Let the melted butter cool slightly to lukewarm. Then, add 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 large egg.
- Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until well combined and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cardamom.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Slowly add 2-4 tablespoons of milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is soft and slightly sticky but still holds its shape.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped nuts (your choice!).
- Drop rounded teaspoons of cookie dough onto a silicone baking mat or a lightly buttered baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
