Preptime: 20 minutes
Cooktime: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 150 grams of flour
- 100 grams of butter (room temperature)
- 75 grams of white bastard sugar
- 1/2 egg
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- powdered sugar
- water
- red, green, yellow food colouring
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together (expect the powdered sugar, water and food colouring). At the end, knead the dough with your hands until you have a ball.
- Wrap the dough in foil and put it in the fridge for 20 minutes. This will ensure that the cookies do not spread in the oven.
- After 20 minutes take the dough out of the fridge. Flour the table and roll out the dough. Make sure you use enough flour! Now cut the cookies out of the dough with a cookie cutter.
- Cover the baking tray with baking paper and bake the cookies at 160 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool completely and in the meantime make the icing.
- For the icing, fill a cup with powdered sugar. Now you are going to add a little water with a teaspoon and stir. Do this until you have a thick frosting. Be careful not to add too much water! It should remain a thick glaze. If you accidentally added too much water, add some powdered sugar.
- Divide the glaze on three plates. With a skewer you will apply lines of food colouring on each plate.
- Dip the cookies one at a time in the glaze, to create a marble effect. Let all the cookies dry and enjoy!
