How To Prepare SPIRAL SUGAR COOKIES Recipe

SPIRAL SUGAR COOKIES

These colourful cookies from Sprinkle Bakes are very tasty to bring to Christmas Eve dinner. The colourful swirl was fun for Christmas. Not only for Christmas, but also for birthdays. They not only look pretty, but also delicious in taste.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cubed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tube gel food coloring, any color
1 cup multi-colored nonpareil decors
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup confectioner’s sugar

Procedure:

Each half of the dough should be rolled out between sheets of wax paper into an 8 x 11-inch rectangle with a 1/4-inch thickness. I used a piece of paper as a guide. Stack on a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm at least for 2 hours by leaving the wax paper on the dough halves.

Combine the salt, flour, sugars and baking powder in a food processor and process to mix. Add butter and process until the mixture has a cornmeal consistency. Also add the vanilla and process until mixture just forms a ball.

Take a shallow rectangular disk and pour 1 cup of multi-coloured sprinkles.

Peel off the top pieces of wax paper from each half of dough by removing the dough from the refrigerator. Flip the coloured dough half over onto the white dough half so that dough is touching dough. Remove the top sheet of wax paper and trim the long edges with a sharp knife. So that the sides are parallel and straight with one another.

Divide the dough in half and return one of the halves to the food processor. Almond extract, food coloring and 2 tablespoons of flour should be added to the processor. Process it until it gets incorporated.

Roll that into a log beginning with a long edge when the dough is just pliable. Gently, curl the edge with your fingertips and do your best to avoid creating air pockets. Carefully lift the long into the decor-filled dish.

Gently, roll it around until the outside is fully coated with colour.

Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to slice, at least 4 hours.

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.

Slice the cookie log into 1/4-inch-thick discs and bake on parchment-lined baking sheets for 15 to 17 minutes or until the cookies are no longer shiny.
