Snowflake Christmas Cookies
Who doesn't love the Holiday season? The Christmas trees, gift-wrapped presents,
the smell of pine-cone and most importantly... the cookies!
Holiday baking can seem like it's going to take forever. And no matter how hard you try, that snowflake still looks like a misshapen rock. But have no fear, Bakell is here!
We're going to give you an easy-to-do, easy-to-bake recipe that'll make you want today to be Christmas every day of the year. Let's get started!
INGREDIENTS:
2 1/3 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/8 tsp salt1 cup butter, softened, 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, 1 egg, 2 tsp vanilla extract (or one bean), Star Shaped Cookie Cutter, Snowman Cookie Cutter, Santa Face Cookie Cutter
Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix flour, baking soda, nutmeg and salt; set aside. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until it is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until it's a great texture. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until it's perfectly mixed in. Refrigerate dough for about 1 hour.
Once it's ready, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into simple shapes and place on greased baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Then, cool on baking sheets 1 minute and move to wire racks.
Now, time for the icing!
INGREDIENTS:
Fondant, Royal Icing / Decorator’s Icing, Piping Bag, Poking Tool (a toothpick or BBQ skewer will do)
First, roll out your fondant and use the same cookie cutters to cut out fondant shapes (i.e. cut out a snowflake fondant for your matching snowflake cookie). Lightly brush the icing with water so it will stick to the cookie. Now, depending on your preference, you can either lift the fondant and place on the cookie or flip the cookie upside down and press it against the fondant. Smooth the edges with your fingertips to adhere.
It's time to decorate!
Pink Iridescent Luster Dust, Blue Iridescent Luster Dust, Snowflake White Tinker Dust
You can easily quit here or use your royal icing + piping bag to add some panache. Just a few lines or filigree touches will be more than enough to impress even the most avid Xmas bakers. Top with a sprinkle of glitter for the next level of festive flair. You can also use a brush to apply the Luster Dust on however you'd like!
Enjoy the Holiday Season, and enjoy these wonderful Iced Cookies! Feel free to top off the Cookies with of our beautiful edible glitters, click here!
