  • Emporte-pièces de formes variées

Ingredients

  • 500 g T45 flour
  • 300 g butter
  • 250 g caster sugar
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 bag vanilla sugar
  • 1/2 bag baking powder
  • 2 egg yolks (for browning cookies)
  • Cinnamon (Optional if you like it, it's even better!)

Instructions

  • Break the eggs into a bowl and add the sugar. Stir in vanilla sugar and mix immediately with a whisk.
  • In a second bowl, mix the flour and butter, softened with your hands, to obtain a sandy dough.
  • Stir in the sugar-egg mixture and baking powder, then work the dough until smooth. Film it and let it rest for 1 hour in a cool place.
  • Knead the dough and roll out to a thickness of about 4 mm. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
  • Brush them with egg yolk to brown them, then put them in the oven at 180°C for 10 to 15 minutes.
