The sweetest month of the year has arrived, where you can find more inspiration to make cookies. It is the month in which one begins to look for those recipes of yore, as well as looking for new ideas, ideally being simple and quick. That is why today I’d like to share these simple but delicious Holiday Vanilla Cookies. In a single bite you will notice how they crumble into your mouth, plus enjoying a mild yet addictive taste. They are perfect to go with a tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. In addition, they are also excellent to make as a gift, but the most important thing to remember is that you must pack them in a tightly-sealed metal box or a plastic container, which helps making them last up to a week or more.
Domino® Sugar is sold where I live, but if they don’t sell it in your area, look for C&H® Sugar products, the sister brand of Domino® Sugar.
The specified cooking time and oven temperature are exact. It is very important that when you remove them from the oven, you should leave them in the baking tray for a little while before moving them to a cooling rack, in order to cool them down. People frequently make the mistake of touching the cookies as soon as they come out from the oven, and that usually ruins them. That is why if you leave them at least about 5 minutes in there, it will be much easier, and you will also achieve the real and final result of how the cookies are supposed to be.
In this part of the recipe you have a couple of options: you can either place the dough into a pastry bag and with a suitable decorating tip you can make different figures, or you can simply make small dough balls with your hand, then flatten them a little, and that’s all!
This is one type of metal box I use to give cookies as a gift this month, as those who you give them to can also give other uses to it if they want. It’s a nice way to spread affection through cooking.
