About Galleta de mantequilla
Galleta de mantequilla, or butter cookie, is a classic treat originating from European cuisine, particularly popular in Scandinavian baking. Made with a simple blend of butter, sugar, flour, and sometimes vanilla extract, these cookies are prized for their rich, creamy taste and crumbly texture. While butter cookies are indulgently delicious, they are high in saturated fats and sugars, making them a less-than-ideal snack for those watching their calorie intake or seeking heart-healthy options. On occasion, recipes may include whole-grain flour or reduced sugar alternatives to offer a slightly healthier twist. Galletas de mantequilla are often enjoyed during holidays, special occasions, or paired with coffee or tea in moderation. While not inherently nutritious, their homemade simplicity and lack of artificial additives make them a better option compared to processed snacks. A small serving can be enjoyed guilt-free as part of a balanced diet.
