Kentucky Butter Cookie

 

1 stick, butter softened
1/3 cup white sugar
2 Tbs brown sugar
---------
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
---------
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
---------
Butter Sauce
2 Tbs butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp water

Cream together, softened butter, and sugars.  Add egg and vanilla continue mixing.  Add dry ingredients and mix only until combined.  Do not over mix.

Use cookie scoop of desired size (she uses 2 tbs...I like them smaller)and pat down so the are shaped like hockey pucks. 

Bake at 350 for 10 to 11 minutes, they just need to be slightly brown, don't overcook.

While cookies are baking, prepare butter sauce.  Melt butter, add in powdered sugar, water and vanilla stiring constantly.  Stir until powdered sugar is dissolved.  Do not bring to a boil.  Remove from heat and let it set for 5 minutes

When cookies come out of the oven, let cool slightly and top with butter sauce.  Once they have cooled completely, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Background: I found this recipe on TikTok (user Brook Miller).  She got the recipe from (LifestyleOfAFoodie).  I made this once for my family, then made a craft retreat.  People loved them!  I like them because I basically have all the ingredients on hand at any given time.  They are also not super sweet.  Would make a great cookie for Santa!  :D
