Decorated Butter Cookies Recipe
These butter cookies are not only delicious, but they are also a creative and collaborative activity for my kids. They have fun making them while helping me in the kitchen.
Ingredients
- 400 grams baking flour
- 250 grams unsalted butter
- 125 grams icing sugar
- 1 egg
- 250 grams fondant for decoration
Instructions
- Soften butter in the microwave for 45 seconds.
- In a separate bowl, add baking flour and icing sugar. Mix until combined.
- Make a hole in the middle of the flour and pour in the softened butter and one egg.
- Stir and then knead the dough until well integrated.
- Roll a ball with the dough, wrap it in cling film and put it to chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Once chilled, roll the dough out to 1/5 inch thick.
- Preheat the oven to 360º F (180º C).
- Line up a baking sheet with parchment paper and place on top the figures you have made with the cookie cutters.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until they are golden brown. Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
- Roll out the fondant with the help of a rolling pin to 1/8 inch thick. Use the same cookie cutters you have used before and, with the help of a brush and a small glass of water, moisten a little the fondant before sticking it to the cookie. Repeat this process with all your cookies. Et voilà! You have just made amazing decorated butter cookies!
