Butter Cookies
(Recipe makes 60 -- 80 small cookies)
Ingredients:
500g / 4 cups Flour
375g / about 3¼ sticks (26.5 TBSP) Butter (room temperature)
190g / ¾ cup Sugar
4 Egg yolks
1 Egg
For the frosting:
1 Pack / 2 cups Powdered Sugar
Lemon or Lime Juice
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F
Knead flour, egg yolks, whole egg and butter (add gradually) into a ball of dough. Put dough in the fridge for about one hour or so, as the dough shouldn't be too soft. Roll dough out into a thin layer, about 3mm thick, and use your choice of cookie cutters to create cookies. Bake the cookies for about 6--7 minutes, until they are golden brown.
Let cool. Meanwhile, prepare the glazing. In a bowl, add juice to powdered sugar and stir until it gets to a creamy texture. Apply a thin layer on each cookie. You can also add sprinkles or dried unicorn tears on top! Enjoy.
