Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup champagne or sparkling wine
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons champagne or sparkling wine (for glaze)
- optional sugar sprinkles or edible pearls
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and champagne to the butter mixture, and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of champagne in a small bowl until smooth.
Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies. Optionally, sprinkle sugar sprinkles or edible pearls immediately after glazing for decoration.
Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
