Zubereitung von Sourdough Sugar Cookies
- **Cream Together:** In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- **Add Wet Ingredients:** Beat in 2 large eggs, ½ cup active sourdough starter (fed 4-6 hours prior), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- **Mix Wet and Dry:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- **Chill (Optional):** Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent spreading during baking.
- **Roll and Cut:** On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ¼-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- **Bake:** Place cookies on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until very lightly browned around the edges.
- **Cool:** Remove cookies from oven and immediately transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Egg Yolk Paint:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon water, a few drops of food coloring, and 1 teaspoon light corn syrup. Divide into small jars if using multiple colors.
- **Paint Cookies:** Once cookies are completely cool, use a clean paintbrush to paint designs onto the cookies.
- **Prepare Icing:** In a separate bowl, beat together your chosen icing ingredients (recipe not provided, use your favorite) with an electric mixer on high speed for 7-10 minutes until light and fluffy.
- **Decorate:** Once the egg yolk paint is dry, decorate the cookies with icing using piping bags or a knife.
- **Dry and Enjoy:** Allow icing to dry completely before stacking or storing. The cookies are now ready to hang on your Christmas tree or to be enjoyed!
