BUY 1/2 inches square dowels, lay them on table - parallele. Metti la pasta al centro fra due fogli di carta oleata e stendi col mattarello : dovrebbero risultare tutti della stessa altezza. Normalmente la pasta si stende 1/4 inches ma io li trovo un po` bassi
Ingredients
FOR ABOUT 20 COOKIES :
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract (I use clear)
Instructions
Step 1: In a separate bowl whisk together flour and baking powder.
Step 2: Beat together unsalted butter and sugar. Once mixed well, add in egg. Mix again, then add in vanilla. I like to use my Kitchen aid and dough hook.
Step 3: Slowly add in flour mixture about a cup at a time. Mix until dough forms and begins to clump together.
Step 4: Gather up dough and knead it with hands until it’s nice and smooth. Roll it into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap, and place in fridge to chill. I like to let min chill about 20-40 minutes. You will want it to be kind of firm but not hard. If it’s too hard…just leave it out on the counter for just a little bit until it softens up. Then you can work it a little bit to soften it back up. Once cut out and laid on a cookie sheet place the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 2-4 minutes depending on the size. This really helps the cookies keep their shape. Once they have chilled for a few pop them in the oven.These cookies were about 2.5 inches
