Tea Cookies I

These are the best tea cookies you will ever have! They are so soft and delicious, and they just melt in your mouth. I made them for my husband’s birthday, and he loved them so much that he ate four of them in one sitting!

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Instructions

In a bowl, cream together the butter and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, mixing until just blended. Mix in chopped nuts.

Divide dough into two balls. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.

Remove one ball of dough from refrigerator; let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter or knife, cut out shapes and transfer to prepared baking sheet spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gather scraps together; reroll and cut out additional cookies if desired.* Bake cookies until firm but not browned around edges, 7-9 minutes depending on size/thickness of cookies. Remove from oven; let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring cookies to a wire rack to cool completely

Chocolate chip cookies are the perennial classic and longtime fan favorite. Chocolate chips add a delicious richness to the cookie, while the dough itself is sweet and buttery.

Shortbread cookies are another popular type of cookie. They are made with a high ratio of butter to flour, which gives them their characteristic crumbly texture. Shortbread cookies can be plain or flavored with things like chocolate, nuts, or fruit.

Macaron cookies are light, delicate French cookies made from almond flour and egg whites. They are often filled with ganache or buttercream and come in a variety of colors and flavors.

Macaroon cookies are similar to macarons, but they are usually made with coconut instead of almond flour. Like macarons, they can be filled with ganache or buttercream and come in a variety of colors and flavors.

Biscotti cookies are Italian twice-baked cookies that are typically hard and dry. They are often dipped in coffee or wine before being eaten. Biscotti come in many different flavors, including traditional versions like anise and almonds as well as more creative flavor combinations like chocolate hazelnut or pistachio orange.

Beyond that basic requirement though there is quite a bit of variation when it comes to recipes for sugar cookies – some include cream cheese frosting, rolled fondant icing ,or even just simple sprinkles on top; while others forego any decorations altogether opting instead for a delicious vanilla glaze.

What are the 6 types of cookies?

There are six basic types of cookies: bar, drop, rolled, refrigerator, pressed, and wafer. Each type has its own unique characteristics and baking methods.

Bar cookies are the simplest to make, as they require no special shaping or decorating. They are simply baked in a pan and then cut into bars or squares. Drop cookies are also easy to make, as they are simply dropped by the spoonful onto a baking sheet. Rolled cookies require a bit more effort, as they must be rolled out into a flat sheet and then cut into shapes with a cookie cutter. Refrigerator cookies must be chilled before baking so that they hold their shape; otherwise they would spread too thin and bake into unrecognizable blobs. Pressed cookies are made by pressing dough through a cookie press to create intricate designs; this is often done at holiday time to create festive shapes such as stars or snowflakes. Finally, wafer cookies are very thin and delicate; they are typically made from flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract (or other flavorings), with leavening agents such as baking powder added for extra lift.

Molded cookies are usually shaped into balls or wreaths before baking. Rolled/cutout cookies require rolling out the dough flat and then using cookie cutters to cut out shapes from it. Pressed cookies are made by pressing dough into molds or cookie stamps to create patterns on them. Bar cookies are baked in a pan and then cut into bars after they’re cooled.
