Tips and Notes

Without extra words: I like this recipe a lot! It’s very easy to make dough for this Cookie Calendar recipe a day before. It’s very easy and funny to roll it and stamp cookies. Cookies by themselves are tasty as well, but additionally can be an eatable decorative element for cakes and pies. Just look at this photo!

The cookies will hold their shape well even if you are using a cutter with very narrow elements – the snowflakes above approve this fact. And these elements will not blur in the oven during baking. In addition, cookies will retain their texture, if you choose a carved rolling pin or textured cutter.

Shortbread Stamped Cookies

cookie calendar, day 22

Ingredients

200 g salt butter room temperature
150 g powdered sugar
1 egg
390 g all purpose flour

Method

1. Rub butter with powdered sugar with a spoon until smooth. This butter should be at room temperature.

2. Add the egg and again bring the mixture to a homogeneous state with a spoon.

3. Finally, add the flour and knead with your hands into a plastic dough.

4. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate overnight.

5. Preheat oven into 200 °C.

6. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm (see the Tips section below for more details) immediately on baking paper or a baking mat. Go over the dough with a grooved rolling pin or immediately cut out the cookies with a cookie cutter.

7. Remove excess dough. Bake the cookies for 5-6 minutes until the edges are golden. Completely cool and only after that remove them from the baking sheet.

8. Make a cup of coffee and enjoy it with fresh baked cookies.

Tips

To roll out the dough to an even thickness across the entire surface, it’s convenient to use guides — metal or wooden strips that are 3 mm thick.

Notes

If using a cookie cutter, you may need to roll the dough slightly thicker, to 4-5 mm, to ensure the design will be better imprinted on the cookies. In this case, increase the baking time to 8-10 minutes, or use your oven’s baking time to ensure the tops of the cookies are golden brown.
