Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Butter

    Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.

  5. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Shape and Bake

    Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Cut into desired shapes and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy your Gourmandise sucrée!
