This is the same dough I use for my Christmas pinwheel cookie recipe but with a touch less vanilla extract and a reduced chill time.
- All-purpose flour: Flour provides structure. It contains proteins that, when mixed with liquid and fat, give your cookies their texture. In this recipe, it’s the canvas that holds all the other delicious elements together.
- Baking powder: A leavening agent that adds a bit of lift to your cookies. It helps them rise and become light and airy, ensuring they don’t turn into dense, flat disks.
- Kosher salt: While a small amount, salt is a flavor enhancer. It balances the sweetness, bringing out the rich buttery taste. If you don’t have kosher salt and want to substitute with table salt, you can use approximately ¼ teaspoon of table salt as a substitute.
- Unsalted butter: The star of the show! Butter provides the rich, indulgent flavor that makes these so irresistible. It also contributes to the cookies’ tender texture.
- Sugar: Not only for sweetening, it also contributes to the structure and tenderness.
- Eggs: Act as a binding agent, holding your dough together. They also add moisture and richness to the mix.
- Vanilla extract: A flavor powerhouse! Vanilla adds a warm, sweet aroma and enhances the overall taste. Try using homemade vanilla extract.
- Sprinkles: While not a necessity, sprinkles add a pop of color and a playful crunch. Switch up the sprinkles to match any holiday or occasion!
