Ingredients

  • 250 g all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
  • 2 g fine salt
  • 150 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 110 g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (about 50 g without shell), at room temperature
  • 5 g vanilla extract
  • 15 g beaten egg white or water, for brushing
  • 25 g red colored sugar
  • 25 g green colored sugar

Let’s make it

  1. Whisk the flour and salt together. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla, then mix in the flour mixture just until a soft dough forms.
  2. Divide the dough into two flat discs, wrap, and chill for 45 minutes, until firm enough to roll. Heat the oven to 175°C (160°C fan) and line two baking sheets with parchment.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll one disc to about 5 mm thick. Cut assorted shapes and transfer them to a lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 cm between cookies. Gather and reroll scraps once; repeat with the second disc.
  4. Brush the cookie tops very lightly with egg white or water. Sprinkle red and green colored sugar in loose patches over the tops, using a small pinch of each as desired.
  5. Bake one sheet at a time for 9–12 minutes, until the edges are set and just beginning to turn pale gold. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  6. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
