Vanilla cookies
Someone had a birthday here this weekend, and we celebrated with the whole family. The birthday girl's request was a cheesecake. But just a cheesecake was somehow too boring for me. So I went all out with the "vanilla" theme – I made a vanilla unicorn cake with colorful cream cheese frosting, added a bit of decoration, and I had a pretty sweet themed cake. I love things like that!
And to make sure everyone is fed, I also cut out a batch of plain vanilla cookies for the 7th birthday, baked them, and then decorated them colorfully with vanilla icing and sprinkles.
I'll definitely use the vanilla cookie recipe again for Christmas, but with different cookie cutters!
300 g wheat flour
130 g sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar or similar
1 tsp baking powder
90 g margarine
70 g light syrup
50 ml milk
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) (upper/lower heat).
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, vanilla and baking powder.
First add the soft margarine and mix, ...
...then add the syrup and milk.
Knead the dough thoroughly, adding more flour if the dough is still sticky.
Knead thoroughly into a smooth dough.
Roll out the dough in portions on a floured surface with a rolling pin and cut out the cookies as desired, ...
...until the last bit of dough is used up.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper...
... and bake in the preheated oven on the middle shelf at 350 °F (180 °C) (upper and lower heat) for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown.
If you like, you can decorate the cookies afterwards with icing, colorful sprinkles, etc.
Bon appetit!
