Pillow Cookies
These Pillow Cookies are a simple little cookie with a light vanilla and butter flavor. Texture wise, expect to be delighted because they’re as light as pillows (thus the name) and melt right in your mouth!
These cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and airy, and are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
You'll love the light and fluffy texture of these cookies, which makes them the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea or coffee. So grab your ingredients and let's get baking!
On a side note, when I bake ball-shaped drop cookies like this, I LOVE using the Wilton Mini Whoopie Pie Sheet instead of a regular baking sheet.
It helps them hold their round shape and keeps them spaced evenly.
