- 2-inch cookie cutter or small glass
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp Butter, softened
- ½ cup Powdered sugar
- 1½ cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tbsp Milk powder
- 6 tbsp Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Saffron, soaked in 2 tbsp milk (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, milk powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Work sugar, butter, and vanilla together in another bowl. Mix in flour a few tbsp at a time. When dough feels dry, add 1 tbsp milk to moisten. Continue until all the flour and 4 tbsp of milk have been incorporated.
