Add more sugar and make sure the ingredients are mixed really well. Some butter cookies have less sugar and taste less sweet then other cookies.
Sounds like the flour didn't get incorporated well enough with the wet ingredients.

If you're sure you have followed the recipe exactly you might try adding a little extra sugar or letting the cookies bake a minute or two longer. You might just try a different recipe!

Flour can taste raw if it's not cooked long enough but it sounds more like something was left out.
