Yield: depends on the size of our cookie cutter
Ingredients
  • 250gr butter ( I use the brand Lurpak)
  • 200gr sugar
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg in room temperature
  • 500gr all purpose flour
Instructions
  1. Place the butter off the fridge and on the working bench
  2. Preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius (air function)
  3. As soon as the butter gets a little smoother, beat it with the sugar on the mixer just to get the ingredients mixed
  4. Add the egg and the vanilla extract and the sea salt and continue beating with the mixer
  5. Gradually add the flour with the mixer motor running
  6. Using our hands, mix the butter making a ball
  7. Spread a large piece of cooking paper on the working bench and using a guide (I am using two small cutting boards ) open the pastry in approx 5mm height.
  8. Cut the cookies with the cutters, place carefully a paper straw on the bottom of the cookie and with a large spatula move them to a large baking pan which is already covered with cooking paper.
  9. Bake for approx 7 to 8 minutes. They are ready as soon as the turn gold on the edges.
  10. Let them chill for about 10 minutes and get harder and then spread them on a rack and let them chill completely.
  11. As soon as they get in room temperature we can start decorating them with royal icing, sugarpaste and truffles according to our likings !! Don't be afraid to mix colors and ingredients
  12. Για τα λαγουδάκια, τα μάγουλα τα έκανα με καπάκι από εμφιαλωμένο νερό, τα αυτιά και τους φιόγκους με το κοπιδάκι μου!
Notes
The royal icing mixture can be found in Greece here. My mixture was green as seen in the pics. You can alter the color adding some green food color and make it a lot brighter!
