Easter cookies (galletas de Pascua)




And here we are in a strange and uncertain world but perhaps more human. I dont know.
Finally I was able to make my recipe for this Easter last night. I wish you all, really everyone a blessed Easter in all corners of the world.
A hug to all !!

about the recipe:

New for me too and absolutely delicious, it can be done with other designs, I made the cookies and the twins (Esperanza and Gerardo) painted them and it must say they were beautiful. 
Today I took the photos and Voilá ..

Ingredients

(about 2 dozen of cookies)

3 cups all purpose flour 
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1  1/4 cups chilled unsalted butter cut into cubes
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2  eggs yolk
1 tsp vanilla exctract

Method

Sift 3 cups flour, baking powder and salt into a medium sized bowl. Set aside.

Using and electric mixer  beat butter and sugar on high speed until well combined (butter does not need to be fluffy)
Note : you can make by hand too.

Add egg, eggs yolks, and vanilla and beat just to combined.
 Add gradually dry ingredients. Mix until dough comes together.

Separate dough in half and form two smooth discs for rolling.
Roll each disc  to desired thickness between two pieces of lightly floured parchment paper . Continue to flour top of dough so parchment doesnt stick or crease.

Transfer rolled dough to refrigerator to chill for about 1 hour.
When the dough is ready to cut shapes flip chilled dough so floured side is down. This will help cookies release easily.

Cut dough to desired shapes and place on baking sheets pans lined with parchment paper.
Re roll scraps only once to avoid tough cookies. If is needed return to fridge to chill until shapes cut easily. Chill about 20-30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180°c  (325 °F)
Bake until edges are slightly golden, about 12 - 16 minutes.
Let cookies cool slightly on pans then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Royal icing for cookies

1 egg white 
2  cups icing sugar 
1/2 teaspoon water
 lemon juice (1 lemon)

In a large bowl combine the sugar, egg white, water and lemon juice. Mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon until the icing is thickenes and smooth. 
Use immediately or store refrigerated in an airght container or plastic bag since the icing dries out and hardens very quickly.If you want it stiffer for frosting a cake or writing on cookies add more icing sugar until you get the consistency you desire.

Galletas con glace para Pascua de Resurreccion











Antes de ir con la receta:

Quisiera haber publicado antes pero me fue imposible.

Con todos aqui  el dia se me pasa volando ( jamas me aburro) y finalmente anoche las pude hacer y mis hijos las pintaron lo que les agradezco asi que hoy estuvieron listas, les saque fotos y ahora la transcribo.
En todo caso es una receta de galletas que les servira siempre, la pueden hacer en cualquier momento y a los niños les encanta
usen los moldes que tengan igual quedan buenas. 
Despues de hacer estas galletas pensaba : por que compramos galletas? si se que es por el tiempo pero son tan buenas hechas en casa.
Feliz Pascua de Resurreccion a todos 

La receta

Ingredientes

3 tazas de harina sin polvos de hornear
1/2 cucharadita polvos de hornear
1/4 cucharadita de sal
 1 1/4 taza de mantequilla bien fría en cubos
1 taza de azúcar
1 huevo entero
2 yemas de huevo
1 cucharadita de vainilla


Preparacion

Cernir las 3 tazas de harina, sal y polvos de hornear en un bowl mediano.Reservar

Con un batidor eléctrico o a mano  batir la mantequilla y azucar hasta que este bien mezclado, unos tres  minutos, que este  un poco cremosa .
Agregar el huevo y las yemas de huevo, luego la vainilla, batir nuevamente. Reducir la velocidad y agregar de a poco la mezcla de harina y polvos de hornear.
Cuando la masa este lista colocar sobre la mesa enharinada y hacer dos discos  que se pueden estirar con papel mantequilla encima , colocar igual un poco de harina en la superficie para que no se pegue el rodillo.
Llevar los discos al refrigerador sobre un plato con papel mantequilla entremedio y dejar por lo menos 1 hora, para que sea mas facil cortar la masa..
Despues de la hora cuando este lista  la masa cortar con los moldes deseados, espolvoreando un poco de harina en la masa.
Los recortes de masa dejarlos aparte y refrigerarlos un poco y de ahi hacer otras figuras con los moldes 
Colocar papel mantequilla sobre las bandejas de horno y colocar las figuras.

Precalentar horno a 180°c .
Hornear hasta que esten ligeramente doradas (alrededor de 12 a 16 minutos) Dejar enfriar las galletas en la lata.
No pasarse del tiempo.
Las galletas se endurecen cuando se enfrian. Estaran bien.



Glacé para galletas


1 clara de huevo
2 tazas de azucar flor 
1 / 2 cucharadita de agua
jugo de  1 limon 

Preparacion

Mezclar en un bowl la clara de huevo, agua y limon y de a poco ir batiendo con cuchara de madera agregando el azucar y revolviendo,
Hasta conseguir una consistencia cremosa y espesa, se le puede agregar mas azucar.
Lo importante es que si no se ocupa inmediatamente guardarla en el refrigerador tapada con un paño de cocina humedo, asi se mantiene hasta el otro dia.
Se pintan las gaelletas y se ponen en bamndejas para dejar secar hasta el otro día.
