Alice in Wonderland Cookies

Ingredients

Elaboration

We start by beating the butter with the two types of sugar, until it becomes a smooth cream. We add the eggs one by one, waiting for the first to be well integrated before adding the second. We also add the vanilla and beat well.
Now comes my favorite part, getting my hands dirty! In a bowl we sift the flour, yeast and salt, and add it little by little to our previous mixture. You can do it with a spatula or even in the mixer, but I like to get stuck with the dough more.
We mix until the flour is well integrated, and we let it rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
After this hour, we take it out to knead and cut. Remember to put flour all over the work surface, and on the rolling pin if necessary too!

I leave these with a thickness of 4mm, but there each one to taste of course 😉

We put them on the tray, and put them in the refrigerator for 30 more minutes. This would be a good time to turn the oven on to heat up, to 170C with heat up and down.
After 30 minutes, we put the cookies in the oven for 12 minutes. It also depends a little on each oven, but when you see that they start to brown on the bottom, they are done!
When removing them, it is very important that you do not remove them immediately from the tray, let them rest for 10 minutes before passing them on a wire rack, because when they come out they will be soft and will break.

And we start with the decoration!

For the glaze we will need:

We put everything in a bowl and beat for 5 minutes until it is thick, but manageable, more liquid than toothpaste.
We separate the mixture into as many bowls as the colors we want to use. And we add the coloring little by little, until we get the desired color. A tip for colors that are a mixture of other colors, it is better to first mix the dyes separately until you get the color, and then add it from that mixture to the frosting.
To draw the letters I used a sleeve with a size 1 nozzle, very very fine, and cones of greaseproof paper with a nozzle thickness of approximately 3mm.
