Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 150 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (or water for a plain glaze)
- 50 grams Sprinkles or chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin log approximately 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) long and shape them into fingers.
Place the shaped dough fingers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2-3 cm (about 1 inch) between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice (or water) in a small bowl until smooth and slightly thick.
Once the cookies are cool, dip the tops of each finger cookie into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
Sprinkle the cookies with your choice of sprinkles or chopped nuts while the glaze is still wet.
Let the glaze set completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
