Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat the “Winter Oven”: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Imagine it’s a winter wonderland inside.
- Snowflake Mix: In a large bowl, mix together the softened butter and powdered sugar until it’s as light as freshly fallen snow.
- Vanilla Blizzard: Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mix. Imagine the aroma as a sweet winter breeze.
- Flour Blizzard: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, stirring until the dough comes together like a snowstorm.
- Snowflake Shapes: Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out snowflake shapes using cookie cutters. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in a Winter Wonderland: Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Imagine the oven as a magical snow oven.
- Snowy Finish: Allow the cookies to cool slightly, then dust them with powdered sugar to create a snowy effect.
- Watch Them Vanish: Invite friends and family to enjoy these delightful Schneeschlaufen Cookies. Watch them disappear faster than you can say “Woow, schneller weg als man gucken kann!”
