To help you get into the holiday spirit, we are thrilled to share our much-loved Crispy Cookie Cutters recipe. Not only are they the ultimate sweet treat, but they're also super fun to shape with your favorite Christmas-themed cutters. So, let's roll up our sleeves and bake a batch to spread some Xmas cheer around!
Ingredients
- 225 grams of light flour
- 25 grams of almond flour
- 100 grams of powdered sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- A pinch of salt
- 40 grams whole egg (about one egg)
Tools Used
- Bowl
- Whisk
- Rubber spatula
- Pastry board
- Plastic wrap
- Rolling pin
- Baking mat or parchment paper
- Cooling rack
- Cookie cutters
Instructions
- In a bowl, cream the butter, powdered sugar, and salt. Continue mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat the egg separately and gradually add it to the butter mixture, making sure to mix well after each addition.
- Sift the light and almond flours, then add them to the creamed mixture. Use a rubber spatula to mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Divide the dough into three equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour. Note: Extra dough can be frozen for later use.
- Roll out one portion of the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap to a thickness of about 3mm using a rolling pin.
- Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Tip: If the dough becomes too soft during this process, place it in the refrigerator to firm up before continuing.
- Preheat the oven to 180℃ (356℉), lower the temperature to 170℃ (338℉), and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until light golden brown. Adjust the temperature and time according to your oven.
- Optional: Use icing made from meringue powder and powdered sugar to decorate the cookies as desired.
You can customize the cookies for various occasions, such as Halloween, Christmas, and birthday themes, using appropriate cookie cutters. Have fun creating your masterpiece cookies and sharing them with friends and family!
