Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons edible glitter or sanding sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Add the milk to the dough and mix until smooth. If the dough feels too stiff, add a tiny bit more milk (1 teaspoon at a time) until pliable.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use snowflake-shaped cutters to cut out the cookies and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about an inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, sift the powdered sugar over the cookies for a snow-dusted look.
Optional: Sprinkle edible glitter or sanding sugar over the cookies for extra sparkle, and gently press it into place.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
