Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams unsalted butter
- 120 grams powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 120 grams powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 3 tablespoons white sparkling sugar or edible glitter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the dough in half, shape each portion into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc to about 6mm (1/4 inch) thickness. Use snowflake cookie cutters to cut out shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the milk and powdered sugar (for glaze) in a small bowl until smooth and spreadable. If the mixture is too thick, add milk a few drops at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, spread or drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies in decorative patterns. Optionally, use a toothpick to create intricate designs.
While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle white sparkling sugar or edible glitter on top for a snowy effect.
Allow the glaze to set completely before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container.
