Move over gingerbread: Discover these irresistible cookies
Although gingerbread cookies are most commonly associated with the holidays, these delicious, crunchy cookies are right on their heels. They are perfectly buttery, soft, and so tasty that it’s hard to stop at just one.
Baking cookies together is a wonderful activity for the whole family. If you melt your favorite milk and white chocolate and use some colorful sprinkles from the cupboard, you’ll have everything you need for sweet happiness. These delicious, crunchy cookies taste even better than gingerbread, and there’s no need to wait for them to soften.
Crunchy cookies with chocolate glaze
Are you looking for something new for the holiday table, or maybe you just want to diversify your sweet treats? Crunchy cookies with chocolate glaze fit the bill perfectly. They are not only delicious and sweet but also very easy to prepare.
When I served them for the first time, they disappeared from the table faster than gingerbread cookies. Even my picky mother-in-law was tempted to have a few and asked for the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 14 tablespoons of butter
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons of sour cream
- 2 bars of milk chocolate
- 1 bar of white chocolate
- Sprinkles and nuts for decoration
Instructions:
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and sugars into a bowl and mix.
- Grate the cold butter and start kneading.
- Add the egg yolks and sour cream and combine until smooth dough forms.
- Form a ball, wrap it in cling film, and place it in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll each out and cut into cookie shapes. If the dough is sticky, you can lightly sprinkle it with flour.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 12 minutes.
- Set aside to cool.
- Decorate the cookies by dipping them in chocolate melted in a double boiler, and add sprinkles and nuts.
Now, just wait a moment for the chocolate to harden, and you can start eating. These cookies certainly won't last until the holidays—they are so tasty that they disappear right off the plate. Enjoy!
