Donnas Vanillinsocker Cookies Recipes

VANILLA SNAP BISCUITS: A DELICIOUS LITTLE COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 c / 350 f
• In a food processor mix the butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth
• Add the flour, egg and egg yolk and process until the mixture forms a soft dough
• Take the dough out the processor and knead slightly bringing it together in a ball and wrap it in cling film and place in the fridge for 30 minutes
• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface or between 2 sheets of baking paper until about ½ cm / 5mm thick
• Cut the dough into approximately 7cm rounds
• Place the dough rounds on a baking sheet that has been lined with baking paper or silicone baking sheets
• Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until golden brown
• Remove the biscuits carefully from the baking tray and allow them to cool on a wire cooling rack as they have a tendency to carry over cooking and could turn too brown once removed from the oven (I generally cool all biscuits on a cooling rack).
• When cooled, dust them with some icing sugar or decorate as desired.

DONNA'S COCONUT ALMOND COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat butter, shortening, and sugar in a bowl until creamy. Mix almond and vanilla extracts and salt into creamed mixture. Gradually beat in flour until smooth. Stir coconut into dough.
• Scoop up dough by heaping tablespoonfuls, roll into balls, and arrange about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Dip the bottom of a glass in flour and press cookies 1/4 inch thick.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for 2 or 3 minutes before removing cookies.
• While cookies are baking, heat half the chocolate chips in a small bowl in a microwave oven for 30 seconds; stir. Repeat steps, heating and stirring until chocolate chips are melted, smooth, and warm. Place remaining chocolate chips into melted chocolate and continue heating and stirring until all chips are melted and just warm. Transfer melted chocolate to a resealable plastic sandwich bag. Snip a small corner off the bag with a scissors.
• Hold the bag like a pastry bag and squeeze a thin line of melted chocolate onto warm cookies in a zigzag pattern. Transfer cookies to cooling racks to let the chocolate harden, about 30 minutes.
