Instructions
Step 1
Mix flour with sugar. Pour chilled butter cut into small cubes on top and grind the mass with a fork or hands to make small crumbs. You can do this with a mixer.
Step 2
Add vanilla sugar and egg. Stir the dough with a spoon and then with your hands until it stops sticking to the walls of the dish.
Step 3
Roll the finished dough into a ball, wrap it with foil and place it in the refrigerator for 40-60 minutes so that it cools down and is easier to roll out.
Step 4
After this time, take out the dough from the refrigerator. Sprinkle flour on the table and roll out a thin layer (4-5 mm) with a rolling pin. We put the oven to heat up to 180 degrees.
Step 5
With a glass, a glass or any confectionery molds, we cut out cookies from the layer. We spread it on a baking sheet lined with pastry paper. We put in the oven and bake until a ruddy golden hue appears. On average, it takes no more than 20 minutes to bake shortbread cookies at home.
Step 6
We knead the dough scraps remaining after cutting out the cookies and again briefly send them to the refrigerator while the first batch is baked. Then we roll out, form a second batch of cookies and bake in the same way.
Step 7
Put the finished shortbread cookies on a dish, cool slightly and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
