Author Notes
I recently discovered an embossed rolling pin (www.pastrymade.com) and thought this recipe was perfect to use the new rolling pin. It's also good for cookie stamps.
If you use an embossed rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness. Chill until stiff. Then, use the tricky rolling pin to make an imprint. Press firmly. Use a scalloped edged round cutter to cut out the cookies. Proceed with recipe directions as written. —Miss_Karen

Ingredients
-
1 cup
unsalted butter
-
1/2 cup
granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup
confectioners sugar
-
1
egg
-
1 teaspoon
caramel extract 0R vanilla extract.
-
1/4 teaspoon
vanilla beans
-
2 2/3 cups
all purpose flour (unbleached)
-
2 tablespoons
cornstarch
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt
-
1/2 cup
Biscoff Spread (or Nutella)
-
granulated sugar for rolling
-
colored sanding sugar for decoration (optional)
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch and salt: set aside.
-
Cream together the butter, granulated sugar and confectioner's sugar until well combined and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add egg and extract: beat until combined.
-
Add dry ingredients in 2 additions, beating after each addition until just combined. Do not over mix.
-
Cover and chill dough 1-2 hours. When dough is chilled, portion into walnut sized dough balls. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place granulated sugar into a shallow dish and roll dough balls, coating completely before stamping with a cookie stamp. Place cookies onto baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle colored sugar on tops if desired.
-
Chill stamped cookies on baking sheet until firm. (About 1-2 hours) This ensures a crisp imprint that doesn't 'fade.'
Preheat oven to 350*F. bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Let rest on cookie sheet briefly then remove to wire rack and cool completely. Spread about 2 teaspoonfuls of Biscoff spread between two cookies.
