Description

Butter cookie is a type of traditional cookie made primarily with butter, sugar, flour, and sometimes a hint of vanilla. Its texture is soft and slightly crispy, with a sweet and creamy flavor that makes it ideal to accompany tea, desserts, or as a base in various pastry recipes.

This ingredient is very popular in European cuisine, especially in countries like France and England, where butter cookies are part of the traditional gastronomy. However, its use has spread throughout Latin America thanks to its versatility and pleasant taste.

Regarding its properties, butter cookies mainly provide carbohydrates and fats from the butter. They are a quick source of energy and add a rich, creamy flavor to preparations, although they are recommended to be consumed in moderation due to their caloric content.

In Latin America, the butter cookie is also colloquially known as galleta de manteca in some countries, or simply as sweet cookie, depending on the region. However, the most universal and recognized term for this type of cookie is butter cookie.
