Butterfly Cookies

Directions

1. 1
   From a piece of cardboard, draw and cut out a butterfly template about 3 inches long. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using the template, draw 14 butterflies on each sheet of parchment paper.
2. 2
   Preheat the oven to 300°F. Melt the butter, then add to the powdered sugar and beat to combine. Gradually beat in the flour, alternating with the egg whites, until all are incorporated. Place 1 tbsp batter in the center of a butterfly and smooth out to fill the template. Repeat with all the butterflies. Bake 1 sheet at a time for 12-15 mins each, until golden.
3. 3
   Place 2 tall glasses upside down and place a wooden spoon between them with an end on each glass. Hang the hot butterflies over the spoon so the wings dangle down on each side. Allow to cool.
