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!
