Are you looking to make the perfect saffron butter cookies? Look no further! Here are some expert tips to help you achieve the perfect cookie every time.

Firstly, start by whisking together your butter and sugar until it becomes creamy and fluffy. For the best results, use the highest quality saffron you can find to get the most natural and delicious flavor.

Next, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. While this will make your cookies a bit less soft, it's a healthier option. If you find that your dough is too sticky, simply add some more flour and mix well. Alternatively, chill the dough in the refrigerator before shaping the cookies. If your dough is too hard to shape, try adding a bit of hot milk to soften it up.

Once your cookies are baked, they will be soft and crumbly, but they will firm up as they cool. For an extra touch, try garnishing the top of your cookies with some almond slivers.

Lastly, store your saffron butter cookies in an airtight container to maintain their crispness. With these tips in mind, you're sure to have the perfect saffron butter cookies every time!
