Once I came across this recipe, I was hooked. I couldn’t wait to pick up the ingredients and make them at home but there was one problem: this recipe was for turkey burgers. Now I’ve always wanted to try turkey burgers since it’s such a healthier alternative but when it came down to it, I couldn’t give up the beef! It’s like Joey Tribbiani says: “If you’re gonna do something wrong, do it right!” So even if the turkey burgers had a gazillion less calories (okay maybe 100 less calories), I wanted a legit burger with real beef.

I made these butter cookies during the holidays to bring to a huge family gathering. I ended up doubling the recipe and made nearly 100 cookies with just 1 baking sheet (I left one of my baking sheets in San Francisco), which isn’t as fun as it seems, but the compliments that I received for the next several days made the effort well worth it. These cookies were an absolute hit and everyone seemed to enjoy them. After all, these cookies are filled with butter so what’s not to like?
