Equipment

Large Bonmat™
Baking Sheet (L)

Ingredients
 

  • 4.59 oz (130 g) butter (Softened | At Room Temperature)
  • 4.59 oz (130 g) sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 8.82 oz (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg yolk (For Egg Wash)
  • 1 Tbsp (15 g) milk (For Egg Wash)

Instructions
 

BUTTERBREDELE PREPARATION

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, with the paddle attachment on, cream the softened butter with the sugar for 2 minutes on medium low speed. Scrap the bowl down when necessary.
    4.59 oz butter, 4.59 oz sugar
  • Add the egg yolks. Stir on your lowest setting until mostly combined (1 minute) it will curdle, that's normal. IMPORTANT: Do not over mix.
    4 egg yolks
  • Gradually add the all-purpose flour. Continue to stir on low until combined.
    8.82 oz all-purpose flour
  • Scrap the dough onto a cling film. Wrap and refrigerate for one hour.

ASSEMBLY

  • Take the dough out of the refrigerator.
  • Place your Large Bonmat on the top of your Large Perforated Baking Sheet. Set Aside.
  • Roll your dough into a large square. I like my cookies 0.40" | 1 cm thick. Cut your cookie dough using your favorite holiday cookie cutter.
  • Transfer your cookie dough onto your Bonmat and brush with the lightly beaten egg yolk.
    1 egg yolk, 1 Tbsp milk

BAKE!

  • Preheat oven to 320F/160C. Bake for 15 minutes (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cookies from 13 minutes). It is ready when they don't look quite done and barely golden around the edge, the top staying soft.
  • Once your "Butterbredele" Authentic Christmas Cookies are out of the oven, let them cool down completely on your baking sheet. When ready, slide them onto a serving plate to share or store them in a tin metal box (They stay fresh up to 3 weeks). Bon Appétit & Happy Holidays!
