Description
Who needs snow, when you can have snow-shaped cookies? This Christmas treat may just make the transition to year-round favorite. Top them with jams or jellies of your choice to create different color themes.
Ingredients
US|METRIC
- 450 grams butter (softened)
- 600 grams powdered sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- salt
- 700 grams all-purpose flour
- 370 grams gooseberries (or cherries or raspberries jam)
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon
Directions
- In a bowl, mix the butter and 300 grams of powdered sugar until it is quite creamy.
- Add 2 eggs, the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, the flour, and mix to get a homogeneous dough.
- Wrap it with plastic film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and wait 10 minutes before working with it so as not to break it.
- Divide in 3, and roll out the first third on a lightly floured work surface until it is 3 to 4 millimeters thick.
- Cut out the shapes with a cookie cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to have as many solid cookies as cookies with cutouts.
- Bake for 12 minutes until lightly browned.
- Proceed in the same fashion with the remaining dough.
- Prepare a dish with 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Right out of the oven, coat the cutout cookies, and let them cool down.
- Coat the solid cookies with the jam when they begin to cool down.
- Then paste 2 cookies together (the jam will make the cookies 2 parts hold together)
- Using the same recipe you can make around fifty shortbread cookies depending on the size of the cookie cutter that you use.
- Beat the egg white with a fork, gradually adding 280 grams of powdered sugar, and a few drops of lemon juice to get the desired texture, thick enough that it does not run off the cake.
- You can use a pastry bag with a small nozzle to ice the shortbread cookies.
- First, delimit the edges of the cake and then fill up with the icing.
- Let stand for 20/25 minutes.

I tried making these pretty cookies with strawberry preserves, and they were a hit! They also looked pretty on a plate with my other Christmas cookies. I like that they are so easy and it’s a simple recipe too.
