Whip cookies, also known as whipped shortbread cookies, are a delightful treat made from a simple combination of butter, powdered sugar, flour, and flavorings. They are called “whip” cookies because the dough is beaten until it becomes light and fluffy, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Here’s a basic recipe for whip cookies:

Ingredients:
– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (you can also use almond or lemon extract for different flavors)
– Optional: food coloring, sprinkles, or other decorations
