Butter cookies

Baking delicious butter cookies and decorating them beautifully!

Ingredients:

For the cookies:

• 1 egg
• 225 g butter
• 400 g pastry flour (300 g in the dough + 100 g for dusting)
• 175 g sugar
• Pinch of vanilla powder

For the decoration

• 100 g white chocolate
• 50 g decorative pearls (orange, green)

Preparation:

Baking the cookies

Mix the sugar and the butter.

Add the egg.

Sift the flour into the dough.

Mix everything well with your hands and form a ball of dough.

Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Dust the table and the rolling pin with flour.

Roll out the dough ball to about 5 mm thickness.

You can use various cookie cutters to make the shapes.

Place the cookies on a sheet of baking paper and bake them for about 10 - 12 minutes.

Let the cookies cool down before you want to decorate them.

Decorating the cookies

Melt the white chocolate in a bain-marie.

For the little carrots, spread white chocolate on the cookies with a knife. You can then apply the pearls by hand, and they will stick well due to the wet chocolate.

Let the chocolate harden for a moment. This will help the pearls attach to the cookie.

Enjoy!
