No special equipment is needed for this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (375g)
  • 1 cup cake flour (125g)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 22 tbsp salted butter (2 sticks + 6 tbsp) (300g) (at room temperature)
  • 1 ¼ cup sugar (250g)
  • 2 tbsp vanilla sugar (see recipe) (or use 1 tsp vanilla extract & 1 tbsp sugar if you don't have vanilla sugar)
  • 1 large egg

Topping

  • 1 egg white
  • pearl sugar

Instructions

  • Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, and baking powder. Add the softened butter and mix until combined.
  • Add the sugar and vanilla sugar, using a wooden spoon or your hands to mix. Add the egg and mix until just combined.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Remove small pieces from the dough and roll each piece into a small ball, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball on a baking sheet and lightly press down with your thumb to slightly flatten each one.
  • Brush the cookies with egg white and sprinkle pearl sugar on top of each one. Bake at 350F for 16-18 minutes or until the cookies become lightly golden in color.

Notes

  • These cookies can be topped with sliced almonds, instead of pearl sugar.
  • See our recipe for instructions to make vanilla sugar or substitute 1 tsp vanilla & 2 tbsp granulated sugar for 2 tbsp vanilla sugar.
