Pudding cookies

Very sweet cookies.

Ingredients

• 200g flour
• 200g butter
• 80g powdered sugar (+some extra for covering, optional)
• 1 bag vanilla pudding powder (37g)
• 1 bag vanilla sugar (8g, optional)

Tools

• Oven
• Baking sheet(s) & Baking sheet paper
• Scale
• Fork (optional, for pattern)
• Sieve (only for powdered sugar)

Estimated time

• Prepare dough: 15 min
• Cool dough: 45 min
• Form cookies: 10 min
• Bake cookies: 15 min

Directions

1. Mix everything except the butter in a bowl
2. Add butter in small slices
3. Knead by hand until a smooth dough forms
4. Put dough in the fridge for 45 - 60 min
5. Preheat oven to 160 degree celsius (circulating air)
6. Cover a baking sheet with baking sheet paper
7. Cut dough into around 40 similarly sized pieces
8. Roll each piece into a ball, put it on the sheet and press down on it with a fork, to make a wavy surface. Keep at lease 2cm distance between the cookies, since they will expand when baking

11. Optional: Cover with some extra powdered sugar

Notes

• Original recipe (german): Puddingplätzchen by Siggi
  • They were very sweet, so I slightly increased the flour and butter in relation to the rest of the ingredients
