Melt-in-your-mouth vanilla cookies

The simplest, quick and easy-to-make butter cookies! The recipe is proven and perfect for use with Mooso cookie cutters.

Before making the cookies, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature. For the best result, use Mooso dough rulers, which will help all the cookies have the same thickness.

Ingredients

• 125 g of unsalted butter
• 100 g of sugar
• 50 g eggs (1 medium egg)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste
• 0.5 teaspoon of salt
• 225 g of wheat flour

Production steps

1. Mix the softened room-temperature butter and sugar until smooth. Beat until the mass becomes fluffy and the sugar is maximally dissolved.
2. Pour the egg and vanilla paste into the mixture and beat until the mixture comes together and becomes smooth.
3. Add salt and half of the flour and mix well. Then add the rest of the flour, mix and knead until you get a soft dough. You can use a stand mixer (eg KitchenAid) with a K-tip for this step.
4. Divide the dough equally into two parts and wrap them separately in cling film. Leave in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to cool.
5. Roll out the chilled dough on baking paper or a floured surface to 5mm. Use Moos dough rulers to ensure uniform dough thickness.
6. Before pressing the cookies, cover the rolled dough and the mold with flour – this will make it easier to form the cookies. For best results, chill the formed cookies in the refrigerator before baking.
7. Bake at 170C (top-bottom baking mode) for about 10-13 minutes. Allow to cool completely before tasting.

Last tips

• You can prepare the dough the night before, just let the dough come to room temperature before rolling. You can judge whether the dough is suitable for forming cookies by its consistency – if the dough is stiff, wait a little longer.
• Can’t move the formed cookie and baking sheet? Roll the dough directly on the baking paper, and then transfer it directly to the baking sheet.
• Do not use flour that contains raising agents. Such flour and used soda or baking powder will cause the cookies to puff up and distort the picture.
• If the dough sticks to the molds – don’t spare flour or cocoa. Dip the mold in flour or cocoa, shake off the excess and press the dough.
• Bake the cookies in a baking tray lined with baking paper or a perforated mat.
• To clean Mooso cookie cutters, you can soak them in warm, soapy water and use a brush to remove any remaining dough. Our molds can also be washed in the dishwasher (max. 50C)
