Zubereitung von Animal Cracker Cookies
- Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon ground mace in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter on high speed for 2 minutes.
- Reduce speed to medium; gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and beat for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat for 1 minute, scraping down the sides.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
- Beat on low speed until most of the flour is incorporated.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and beat until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl (2-3 minutes).
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into two equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
- Let the dough sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before rolling.
- Place each dough disk between two large sheets of plastic wrap.
- Roll the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Remove the top sheet of plastic wrap.
- Carefully transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Lightly dust the top with flour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Dip your cookie cutters in flour before cutting out the shapes.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until very light golden brown.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
