đšâđł Instruktioner
- 1
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer or a whisk until the mixture is light, pale, and fluffy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
â±ïž 5-7 minutes - 2
Add the rice flour, rose water, and egg yolk to the creamed butter-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed or by hand until just combined and a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
â±ïž 3-5 minutes - 3
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to handle. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
â±ïž 30 minutes (chilling) - 4
Roll the chilled dough into small balls, about 1.5-2 cm (0.6-0.8 inches) in diameter. Alternatively, use small cookie cutters or press the dough into decorative molds. Place the shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between them.
â±ïž 10-15 minutes - 5
Gently press a few poppy seeds onto the top of each cookie for decoration. You can also use a small stamp or the back of a fork to create a pattern.
â±ïž 2-3 minutes - 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are just set. They should not brown significantly. They will be very delicate when warm.
â±ïž 12-15 minutes - 7
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
â±ïž 10-15 minutes (cooling)
