Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).

Cream the Butter: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.

Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, icing sugar, and vanilla essence to the butter. Mix well until fully combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cake flour, corn starch, and milk powder. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter, and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Flatten each ball gently with a fork to create a pattern.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.

Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy: Serve your delicious Danish Butter Cookies with tea or coffee, or store them in an airtight container for later.
