Ingredients
The butter should be cold from the fridge and the egg at room temperature. The measurements of this dough are suitable for the use of stamps or embossed rolling pins for cookies. Using a classic recipe or changing the quantities may result in the design disappearing during baking.
- 1 egg
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 5.3 oz butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Tools
- 1 Mixer Kitchen Aid Artisan
- 2 Cookie Cutters for cookies
- 1 Rolling Pin with spacers
- 2 Baking Sheets perforated
Steps
In the bowl of the mixer with the paddle attachment, mix all the ingredients until they are compact and well blended: flour, powdered sugar, butter in pieces, egg, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Take the dough and work it on the work surface forming a slightly flattened rectangular block. Wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for two hours.
After the resting time, bring the block back to the lightly floured work surface and using the 6-millimeter rolling pin spacers, roll out the dough and use it as desired to make cookies. Place them on two perforated baking sheets and put them in the fridge for fifteen minutes before baking. The cookies bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes.
Notes
The shortcrust pastry recipe is always that of Miriam Bonizzi which comes along with the cookie stamps. I had bought them on Cocorò but currently, the site is no longer active. You can use the stamps you already have at home.
If you prefer, you can make the dough in the food processor: just put all the ingredients inside and start it, letting it work until the dough is compact.
