Instructions

Cookies

• Mix the butter with the sugar in 3 minutes until fluffy.
• Add the vanilla extract and egg and mix for another minute.
• Turn the mixer on the lowest setting and add the flour and salt. Mix until you have a dough.
• Wrap it in plastic and lay for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Roll out on a baking paper until you have a thin dough.
• Again put 30 minutes in the refrigerator (that way the dough becomes very cold, and won't run out as you go baking, so the cookie keeps the exact form)
• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Bake the cookies in 12 minutes until golden brown.
• Let them cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet and then place them on a wire rack.
• Let them continue to cool until room temperature.

Icing

• Beat the egg whites until stiff.
• Add the powdered sugar and pour the syrup in. Mix until incorporated.
• First draw a line around the cookie with a piping bag with a thin mouth. Then fill the cookie with the icing.
• Allow to harden for half an hour.
• If you want to write a text, quote or like to make a drawing than you can do that now.
