First, in your mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder and sea salt. Weight your dry ingredients (14.4 oz | 425 g), and divide in two separate bowls (7.2 oz | 212.5 g). Set aside.
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 5 minutes.
Add the egg. Continue mixing on medium speed until combined. IMPORTANT: Do not over mix. Weight your preparation in a new bowl (115.7 oz | 466 g), and divide it in 2 (7.33 oz | 233 g): One goes back to your stand mixer bowl.
PART 1: Bring back the speed to the Lowest setting and gradually add the dry ingredients from your 1st bowl. Your dough is ready once it does not stick to the sides of your bowl (about 2 minutes). Set aside onto your Roul'pat®.
PART 2: Return your second batter to the bowl of your stand mixer, add the pink and violet colorant andmix on the lowest setting. Gradually add the dry ingredients from your 2nd bowl. Your dough is ready once it does not stick to the sides of your bowl (about 2 minutes). Set aside onto your Roul'pat®.
ROLL (METHOD 1 & 2)
Take a tablespoon of each dough, and start rolling it between the palm of your hands. NOTE: I made 20 of each dough (40 Total).
Place them staggered and close enough on your Roul'pat®.
Roll your dough into a large rectangle using your Bonmat as a guide. I like my cookies a 1/4" | 5mm thick.
REFRIGERATE
Cover with a plastic film. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes. This will allow the butter to cool down.
Take your dough out of the refrigerator. Cut your cookie dough using your heart shaped dough cutters. Place them directly onto your bonMAT™ well apart.
Bake for 12 minutes at 350F/180C, until just beginning to turn golden around the edges. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cookies from 12min). NOTE: They will be soft out of the oven, that's normal as they will harden when they cool down.
Once your Crazy in Love Sugar Cookies are out of the oven, let them completely cool down as is on your Baking Sheet. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
