Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Unsalted butter
- 60 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Sift the all-purpose flour and cornstarch into the bowl. Mix on low speed until a smooth and soft dough forms.
Add the milk and mix lightly to adjust the consistency of the dough. It should be soft but not sticky, perfect for piping.
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
Pipe small swirls, rosettes, or lines onto the prepared baking trays, leaving enough space in between for the cookies to slightly spread during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Dip one end of each biscuit into the chocolate and place them on a parchment-lined tray to set.
Once the chocolate sets, store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week or enjoy immediately.
