These Danish cookies, both melt-in-your-mouth and slightly crispy on the outside, are a perfect match for a coffee break or a delightful snack. They boast a delicious aroma of vanilla and butter—absolutely scrumptious!
Ingredients
– 20 cookies
– Butter: 250 g
– Powdered sugar: 100 g
– Vanilla sugar: 1 packet
– Salt: a pinch
– Egg: 1
– Flour: 250 g
– Cornstarch: 50 g
Preparation
– Total Time: 1 hr 5 min
– Prep Time: 20 min
– Cook Time: 15 min
1. Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix well.
2. Incorporate the Flours
Sift the flour and cornstarch together and gradually blend it into the butter-sugar mixture until the dough is smooth and pliable. Shape it into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
3. Shape the Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/5 inch (0.5 cm) thickness. You can cut out the cookies with any cookie cutter you have, or for a fancy presentation, use a piping bag as I do to create elegant shapes directly on the baking sheet. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with pearl sugar or sliced almonds if desired.
Cooking
Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
