Buttery and sweet, these soft bottle cookies are fancy looking cookies that are also easy to eat. Whether you are looking for a dessert or sweet treat to have with your afternoon coffee or tea, these soft and buttery cookies will fit the bill perfectly!
To make the soft bottle cookies, you begin by making a dough with butter, egg, starch, vegetable oil, powdered sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and flour. Then, the dough gets placed in a plastic bottle with star-shaped holes, which you can then squeeze the dough out of to form the cookies. Once baked, the cookies are then adorned in various garnishes such as melted chocolate and nuts.
What are Soft Bottle Cookies?
Soft bottle cookies are buttery cookies that are shaped using a plastic bottle that has star-shaped holes cut into it. The cookie rods are then dipped in white and dark chocolate, and garnished with chopped pistachios for added richness.
Pro Tips
- Make sure the butter is softened before you begin making this cookie recipe.
- If you have a piping bag and a star-shaped piping tip, you could use that instead of the plastic bottle.
- Don’t overbake the cookies. You will know they are ready when they are firm and golden on their bottoms.
- Toast the pistachios to amplify their flavor if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need to Pipe the Cookies With a Plastic Bottle?
No, you can use a piping bag with a star tip instead. The plastic bottle method is perfect for those who don’t have a piping bag and piping tip on hand, though.
Can I Add Other Garnishes to the Cookies?
Absolutely! If you don’t want to use pistachios, you could use other types of nuts such as walnuts, pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts. Colorful sprinkles or toasted coconut are also great options.
How Can I Tell That the Cookies are Baked?
Once baked, the cookies will have a firmer appearance. They should also have a light golden color on top and be golden on their bottoms.
How to Store Soft Bottle Cookies
Leftover cookies will store well in an airtight cookie tin or jar at room temperature until you intend to serve them. They can also be stored in the fridge to prevent the chocolate from melting if your kitchen is quite warm.
