MAGICAL SPARKLING SNOWFLAKES: CHRISTMAS BUTTER BISCUITS-COOKIES



Magical Sparkling Snowflakes: Christmas Butter Biscuits-Cookies image

These sparkling Scandinavian style Christmas biscuits-cookies look just magical, especially when hung with ribbon from the Christmas tree! You need special snowflake biscuit-cookie cutters, and also edible glitter or sparkling silver or white dusting powder. If you cannot source edible sparkle or glitter dusting powder, they still look beautiful if decorated with white royal icing, piped into trellace work patterns to enhance the snowflake shape. These magical snowflakes make ideal Christmas gifts, and can be packaged in cellophane bags with a pretty and seasonal ribbon attached. They last for up to 14 days in an airtight tin & stored in a cool place, assuming they last that long!

Time 45m

Yield 30 Snowflake Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups plain flour
1 cup icing sugar
150 g butter, cubed, chilled
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
milk, to mix
4 ounces white royal icing, for piping designs or 4 ounces glace icing, for icing the biscuits
edible glitter or edible sparkling cake dusting powder

Steps:

  • Place flour and the icing sugar in a food processor. Process for 30 seconds. Add butter. Process until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add egg and vanilla. Process until dough comes together. If it is too dry, add some milk.
  • Transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead dough until smooth. Press or roll into a 9"/20cm circle. Wrap in greaseproof paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
  • Preheat oven to 180C/360F, and line 2 flat baking/cookie trays with baking paper. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until about 1/4"/5mm thick.
  • Using snowflake biscuit/cookie cutters, cut shapes out of dough. Place on them gently on to the trays. Press leftover dough together and repeat cutting out shapes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
  • Bake the cookies/biscuits for 10 minutes, swapping trays after 5 minutes, or until light golden in colour. Allow to cool on trays completely.
  • Pipe trellis-work patterns following the snowflake shapes, or drizzle glace icing over the top; then dust them with edible glitter/edible silver dusting powder whilst the icing is still wet.
  • Dust with remaining sugar or edible glitter/silver dust just before serving.
  • Note for making holes for hanging on the Christmas Tree: Just before baking, take a plastic drinking straw and press into the top of the snowflake shapes - to make a small hole - then gently wiggle the straw around a bit to widen the hole, and bake as before. On taking them out of the oven, if the holes have closed up a bit, gently wiggle around again with a plastic drinking straw, to make the holes bigger! Excuse the language, I don't know how else to put it! LOL!

  • Sit the cake on a cake board or flat plate. Brush all over with a little of the jam. Roll out the marzipan on an icing sugar-dusted surface until large enough to cover the sides and top of the cake – use string to help you measure. Cover the cake and trim the excess marzipan from the bottom. Brush with jam again, knead 850g of the white icing until smooth and pliable, then roll out as you did you for the marzipan ensuring it is large enough to cover the top and sides. Lift onto the cake. Smooth the icing down and around the sides, trimming excess from the bottom, as before. Smooth out any marks with the flats of your hand, rubbing the icing to buff it to a shine.
  • Roll out the rest of the white icing and cut out a few snowflakes. Brush one side with a little egg white or runny icing, then dip this side into the preserving or granulated sugar to coat. Sprinkle on glitter, if using, then use more egg white or icing to stick randomly onto the cake. Leave to set for a few hrs before cutting.
