They should be light, firm, and crunchy. Top with powdered sugar if you like, or you can even dip half of it in chocolate. Do not use a stand mixer to add in the salt, flour, or milk, as it will overmix the ingredients and result in a dough that is too loose. Use a rubber spatulato gently fold together the ingredients just until combined.

If you want to get a little fancy, go to the nearest dollar store like Dollar General and buy the round tins they have, usually around Christmas time, but they may have them year-round. Then place cupcake paper cups on the bottom, and add a homemade Danish butter cookie to each paper cup. Add a round piece of parchment paper or wax paper on top, then add another layer. A fun gift to give to your neighbors, friends, and family. Vanilla extract- Avoid using imitation vanilla extract, as the taste is not as good and requires more to achieve the same result. Pure vanilla extract will always give the best flavor and outcome. Pour the melted chocolate onto a parchment or silicone mat and spread it thin, to about 1/8 inch, using an offset spatula. Flour- Plain, all purpose flourworks great for this recipe. Like powdered sugar, sift the flour first to remove lumps before using it in the recipe.Then you can pipe your circle design on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. If you don’t want to use a piping bag, take a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball. Then press it flat with your palm. Use a fork and press it around. That is one design you can do.

I LOVE receiving recipe requests from readers because they often spark a forgotten memory and allow me to recreate something that I otherwise may never have attempted.Just whipped these up….love the taste of the batter…In the oven as I type. I used the Ateco 827 tip. At first I didn’t think anything would come out, but it did and then as I got used to where to apply the pressure for piping (closer to the tip, not at the top), the dough came out easier and easier in nice swirls…almost like wreaths. Next batch will be tighter like rosettes with sugar sprinkles on top. I’ll wait till they are out of the oven and cooled before finishing this comment. Salt – Only add the salt if you are using unsalted butter. The salt will enhance the flavor and bring balance to the sweetness. It is very easy to make- You only need 30 minutes and a few easy steps to prepare the cookie dough. The rest of the time is to wait for the dough to freeze, bake, and set. Pipe 5cm / 2-inch circles onto the baking sheets. Leave enough room between each cookie to give them room to puff up and spread.

Milk- I recommend milk with high-fat content for the best taste and texture. I use 3% whole milk in my recipes. Like the butter, the milk needs to be at room temperature. Vanilla extract – This optional ingredient really enhances the flavor. I say “optional” but I never leave it out. Store the cookie topping in an airtight container and sprinkle on top of ice cream whenever you’d like! It is okay if the cookie pieces get a little dry since the ice cream juices will soak right into them, softening them once again! 4 – Chocolate Bark With Cookie PiecesFold in 1-2 tablespoons of milk to loosen the dough and make it easier to pipe. It should be stiff yet pipeable. It is incredibly delicious- I use only the highest-quality ingredients to give the richest flavor and soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Add the softened butter to a large bowl along with the powdered sugar. You can use granulated sugar, if you do, I recommend only using 1/3 cup. But you certainly can use a half cup of it as well. Sugar – I typically use powdered sugar, because it dissolves better in the butter and produces a little nicer texture to the cookie, but granulated sugar is suitable as well. Mix well and then press the mix into a pie pan, pushing the crumb crust up the sides of the pan. The crust is now ready to be filled! Cookie Dough Pie CrustThis is an easy butter cookie recipe to mix together; the only extra step is piping the dough into circles, which gives them that characteristic swirl look. Let’s discuss! Straight after baking, be careful not to break them as they can be very fragile at this point. They will set as they cool. No fancy ingredients are required- This Danish butter cookie recipe is made with only six ingredients, many of which are likely already in your pantry. I only baked the first batch for 13 minutes as someone else suggested. Very delicious!. Crispy on the edges, creamy on the inside. They spread/flattened out, however – but still held the design of the tip – and I see that the second batch, although more compact and tighter, have spread as well. I’ll cook those 2 minutes longer and see if the crisp goes all the way through and see which I like best. Flour alternatives- Try this recipe using a small amount of almond flour for a hint of sweet almond flavor. You can also use cake flour.
