How To Make The Cookies

  • Leave the butter at room temperature before starting to bake. Use the paddle attachment to mix the butter, powdered sugar, cornstarch until smooth and silky.
    1 cup Butter, ¾ cup Powdered sugar, ¼ cup Cornstarch
  • Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
    1 Egg yolk, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • Mix the flour, cinnamon, and salt, add it in two or three passes, and mix well after each. You would have a soft and smooth dough in the end.
    2½ cup All-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • Shape the dough into a disc, cling wrap, and chill for one hour.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough. For easier rolling, place the dough between two pieces of wax paper. Once the dough is ¼ of an inch thick, use your snowflake or any holiday cookie cutter to cut the dough.
  • Place the raw cookies on a lined baking sheet and in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime, preheat the oven to 325F. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges look set. Do not overbake them, as it makes them dry and brown. Let them cool down for a few minutes, then transfer them to the cooling rack to cool down fully.

How To Make The Icing

  • Mix the powdered sugar and cinnamon with milk and vanilla extract. Mix well. If it is too dry, add one teaspoon of milk; if it is too runny, add some powdered sugar. The Mixture should have the consistency of honey.
    1 cup Powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoon Milk, ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • Dip the cookies in the icing and place them on a rack for the icing to set.
  • For the topping, mix the sugar and cinnamon and lightly sprinkle the surface of the cookies before the icing is fully dry. Place one edible silver bead in the center of each cookie.
    ¼ cup Caster sugr, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, 20 Silver bead sprinkles
