Fancy frosted cookies

Overview

Children especially like brightly colored food. Wouldn’t that child like such colorful biscuits? What’s special is that the icing on top is a little sweet, which is even more popular among children. You can also let the children doodle freely on the cookies. What a great dry activity. Take advantage of this weekend to do it with your baby!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Cut the butter into small pieces in advance

   

2. 2 Let it soften at room temperature and then whip

   

3. 3 Add powdered sugar and stir with the whisk head (no need to plug it in), so that the powdered sugar and butter are mixed together, so that the powdered sugar will not fly around during the whipping process. Start the electric whisk at low speed

   

4. 4 After the powdered sugar and butter are mixed, beat at medium speed until the volume increases and the color turns white (this process takes about 2-3 minutes)

   

5. 5 Add the egg liquid in 3 additions, stirring after each addition until the egg liquid is completely combined with the butter

   

6. 6 Sift in low-gluten flour all at once

   

7. 7 Use a spatula to stir and knead into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

   

8. 8 It’s time to make the meringue while it’s refrigerated. Prepare 50 grams of icing sugar and 8 grams of egg whites

   

9. 9 Put the egg whites into a container. It must be oil-free and water-free. Add a few drops of lemon juice and beat until coarse foam. Sift the powdered sugar into the egg whites in three batches. Use a whisk each time to mix the powdered sugar and egg whites evenly

   

10. 10 Just beat until the dripping lines are not easily smoothed out

    

11. 11 Divide the beaten icing into two parts, add a drop of pink coloring to one part and mix well

    

12. 12 Add the other portion of green coloring and mix well

    

13. 13 Put them into two piping bags respectively, and cut a small opening of 2mm at the exit. Do not cut it too big

    

14. 14 Take out the refrigerated cookie dough, place a piece of parchment paper on the chopping board, place the dough on the parchment paper, cover it with a layer of plastic wrap, and roll it out to about 3mm--5mm thick

    

15. 15 After rolling it out, use a flower-shaped cookie cutter to carve out the shape

    

16. 16 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees in advance. Put the prepared biscuits into the baking pan. Leave a little gap between the biscuits to allow them to heat more evenly and prevent the baked biscuits from sticking together. Then put them in the oven, heat up and down, and keep the middle layer at 180 degrees for 8-12 minutes (or until the biscuits are all colored)

    

17. 17 Let’s start decorating! Take a piece of biscuit and come up with a decorative pattern. After painting it, place the biscuit in a ventilated place to dry completely
