Hello, welcome to Vicky's Easy Recipe. In this video we are going to prepare easy and cheap butter cookies. The ingredients we are going to need are: 2 1/2 cups of wheat flour, the one you use to make your bread and cakes. It equals to approximately 335 grams.
0:43
180 gr of unsalted butter or margarine at room temperature, I'm using butter. 1 egg at room temperature, 1 cup and 1/3 of icing sugar or powdered sugar that equals 150 gr or 75 gr of normal sugar or 7 1/2 tablespoons which is fine. 1 pinch of ground salt.
1:09
1 tablespoon of vanilla essence and to cut them a little lid, a glass or this type of cutters that already come from tiburin. We are going to sift flour and icing sugar separately. These lumps that remain with a teaspoon we are going to break them apart and icing sugar. Now we are going to put in a very clean area the flour that we have already sifted to form a strong volcano.
1:56
Make sure you have clean hands or if you prefer, wear gloves. Here in the center we are going to put icing sugar and butter. And we are going to start first by integrating these two ingredients. Once they are integrated, we are going to put the egg there. We mix it a little bit and we are going to put the tablespoon of vanilla essence. And on the edge, the pinch of ground salt. And now we are going to integrate everything. First,
3:07
the vanilla essence with what we have in the center and then we are lowering all the flour that is at the edges little by little this is how this dough is already only we are going to knead it so that it integrates perfectly we only knead it for about 30 seconds after that we are going to put it in a container to which we are going to cover with plastic and we take it to the refrigerator we take the ball and here I am going to divide it in two
4:36
so it will be easier to stretch it. We are going to let the dough rest inside the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and grease and flour our tray. Or you can use wax paper or butter. Remove the excess flour. Once the dough has rested, we take it out and we are going to start stretching.
5:31
With a rolling pin, first we are going to put flour in our work area. Also to the rolling pin we put flour in our hands, because it is a dough that is more sticky. And now we stretch it. We are going to try to make it as even as possible and not so thin. Approximately it is this thickness that we are going to leave it. In the same way you can leave them thicker if you prefer.
6:17
We are going to put a little flour and there we are going to put our cutter or glass and we start to cut. We remove the excess dough and we are going to knead it again to continue making cookies. Since we have them like this, I recommend you to put in each tray of the same size. If you are going to put, for example, these that are bigger, I'm going to put them all together so that the cooking time is even.
7:14
I put them in another bowl, always leaving a space. Remember to lift very carefully and if any of the figurines deforms, you just have to give it a figure again. The dough that we have left, we are going to knead it again so that it fits perfectly and we are going to stretch it again. Remember that it is a dough that has a lot of butter, the more handling it has, the more watery it will become.
8:08
Always remember to remove from the work table if there is a little bit of dough stuck so that when you stretch it does not stick. But here I have this tray ready, I'm going to take it to the oven. We have the oven as I mentioned at 180 degrees Celsius and we are going to put it right in the middle, the pans are right in the center. We close and wait for it to bake. We continue doing the same with the rest of the dough. I set it aside for 10 minutes.
9:02
How do you know when they are ready? Because the edges start to brown. We take them out and we are going to let them cool while we put the others. The amount of cookies depends on the size of the glass or mold with which you are making them. My dough yielded for 46 girls and 20 adults.
9:32
The cookies were in the oven for 10 minutes and the big ones for 11 minutes, but remember that each oven is different, you just have to wait for them to start to brown on the sides and then we take them out.
9:47
Once we take them out of the oven they are soft, you have to let them cool for half an hour so that they take that crunchy texture, once cold they are ready to enjoy or you can put them in plastic bags with a curly bow and you can give them away or sell them. This recipe is the basic one of butter cookies, you can leave them alone or put a little powdered icing sugar or later I will share a video of how to decorate them.
