Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Snowflake Sugar Cookies Delight.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with Reynolds® Parchment Paper and set it aside for later use.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and sugar, using an electric mixer to whip them into a light and fluffy cloud of sweetness.
Step 4
Introduce an egg and, if you desire, a splash of lemon extract, mixing until everything is harmoniously blended.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually incorporate this dry blend into the buttery mixture, beating until the dough reaches a smooth consistency.
Step 6
Next, divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a flat disk.
Step 7
Wrap these disks in parchment paper and let them chill in the refrigerator for about an hour, allowing the dough to firm up for easier rolling.
Step 8
Once chilled, roll out the dough to a delicate 1/8-inch thickness between two sheets of lightly floured parchment paper.
Step 9
Use snowflake-shaped cookie cutters to create festive cookies, placing them an inch apart on your prepared cookie sheet.
Step 10
For a touch of whimsy, sprinkle colored decorations atop the cookies before they head into the oven.
Step 11
Bake your delightful creations in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, watching for the edges to turn a gentle golden brown.
Step 12
Once baked, remove the cookies and let them cool on a wire rack, filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma.
Step 13
While the cookies cool, prepare a simple glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk, adding the milk gradually until you achieve your desired consistency.
Step 14
Finally, drizzle this sweet glaze over your cooled cookies, transforming them into a festive treat that’s sure to bring joy to any gathering.
Step 15
Enjoy the process and the delicious results!.
