Equipment
Ingredients
SUGAR COOKIE DOUGH
- 14.65 oz (415 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 Tbsp (6 g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (0.75 tsp) sea salt
- 7.95 oz (225 g) butter (Very Cold | Cut into Squares)
- 7.05 oz (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla bean paste
- 1 egg (Large)
VANILLA ICING
- 12.70 oz (360 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (4 g) vanilla extract
- 1.55 oz (44 g) corn syrup (2 Tablespoons)
- 2.15 oz (60 g) Spring Water (4 Tablespoons)
- 1/8 tsp (0.75 g) sea salt
- food coloring (Red | Brown | Purple | Black)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. NOTE: For this recipe, I used my Large Bonmat on the top of a Large Perforated Baking Sheet. Set aside.
SUGAR COOKIE DOUGH PREPARATION
- 14.65 oz all-purpose flour, 1/2 Tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Then, in the bowl of your stand mixer, with the paddle attachment on, cream the butter together with the sugar and vanilla bean paste. Start on your lowest setting and increase the speed until you reach the desired consistency. About 4 minutes. NOTE: Scrap the bowl down when necessary.7.95 oz butter, 7.05 oz granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- Add the egg. Continue mixing on medium speed until mostly combined, it will curdle, that's normal. IMPORTANT: Do not over mix.1 egg
- Bring back the speed to the Lowest setting and gradually add the dry ingredients. Your dough is ready once it does not stick to the sides of your bowl (about 2 minutes). Scrap the bowl down when necessary.
ASSEMBLY
- Preheat oven to 350℉/180℃. NOTE: Roll your rolling pin into a bit of flour, before rolling your dough.
- Transfer your dough directly onto your prepared work station and roll it into a large square. I like my cookies a 1/4" | 0.60 cm thick. Cut your cookie dough using your Favorite Gingerbread Cookie dough cutter.
- Place your cookies directly onto your prepared baking sheet, well apart.
BAKE!
- Bake for 8 minutes at 350℉/180℃. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cookies from 7 minutes). It is ready when they don't look quite done and barely golden around the edge, the top staying soft.
- Once your Sugar Cookies are out of the oven, let them completely cool down as is on your Baking Sheet, while preparing the vanilla icing.
VANILLA ICING PREPARATION
- In a large bowl, whisk together powdered sugar. Make a well, add the vanilla extract, corn syrup, sea salt and spring water. Mix until combined. Transfer a 1/4 of your preparation into another bowl. Work with the different food colorants in order to get a deep red. Set aside.12.70 oz powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1.55 oz corn syrup, 2.15 oz Spring Water, 1/8 tsp sea salt, food coloring
- Gently dip each cookie into the vanilla icing and set aside onto the cooling rack to allow the icing excess to drip.
- Using your mini whisk, dip it into the red icing. Then, fling the icing, while still having a firm grip around the whisk, at the cookies to create a ‘splatter’ pattern.Let your Blood Spatter Sugar Cookies dry for an hour or so. Then, slide them onto a serving plate. Enjoy! "BONE" Appétit & Happy Halloween!NOTE: These cookies are best when stored in a metal tin box up to 3 days.
