Ingredients:
- 375 gams butter
- 190 grams sugar
- 500 grams flour
- 6 eggs
- Flour to sprinkle
- 1 pack vanilla sugar
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 360°F.
- Mix the butter in a bowl until it starts foaming.
- Add the sugar and then slowly add the flour.
- Separate 5 of the eggs into egg white and egg yolk. Then pour the egg yolk into the bowl.
- Place the vanilla sugar into the bowl as well. Mix everything thoroughly.
- Sprinkle some flour on a clean surface with enough space, so your dough won’t stick while rolling it out.
- Roll out your dough evenly. It should be about as high as a third of your pinkie from the side.
- Punch out the cookies in the shapes you want.
- Repeat this process until you run out of dough.
Hint: The more you knead the dough the less it sticks together. So for better results don’t be shy to sprinkle some flour onto the dough every now and then.
- Place your cookies on a baking sheet and brush over them with the remaining egg.
- Decorate the cookies however you like and bake them for 10-15 minutes.
Tipp: Berry marmalade or sprinkles tend to be a tasty choice for decoration.
