Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 60 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 30 pieces small candies or chocolate chips (for filling)
- 60 grams powdered sugar (for rolling)
- as needed food dye (optional)
- 30 grams sprinkles or decorative sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms.
If the dough is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk to bind it together. Optionally, divide the dough into sections and knead in food dye for colorful cookies.
Take a small portion of dough (about 1 tablespoon), flatten it in your palm, and place a small candy or chocolate chip in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling and roll it into a smooth ball.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) apart. Repeat with the remaining dough and fillings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The cookies should not brown too much on top.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Roll the cooled cookies in powdered sugar for a classic finish. Optionally, coat them in sprinkles or decorative sugar for extra flair.
