Had to use a new butter called challenge said sweat cream salted butter but they came out thin ? tried new cookie stamp not so great at it or dough was not right ? see all the broken

I use challenge butter all the time. The spread and fragility is from either too much moisture content in the butter, or not enough flour in the recipe, OR dough that is too warm. Judging by the grease marks on the towels, and the lack of hold in the stamp shape, I think it was too little flour.

You use it all the time now I had put more flour than it called for only on part just a hunch
may feed them to the birds

It's usually about the same price as store brand butter here and I like the taste better. I also use it for brown butter cookies. You simmer the butter to remove the water content and slightly brown it.

Hmmm well we need a trip to Costco soon for milk I will get like 6 lbs of butter I use too .. I only use AP flour I do not keep others around it works no matter what I make

I use AP for holiday cookies that leave the house. Otherwise I use wheat and rye.
