Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. All ingredients ready? Let’s get baking!
  2. Begin by preheating your oven to 390⁰F.
  3. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. If you don’t have parchment paper, you can lightly grease the baking sheets.
  4. Fit a piping bag with a ½ inch tip.
  5. Using a large bowl, beat the superfine sugar into the butter. You need to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they reach the stiff peak stage.
  7. Gently fold your stiffly beaten egg whites into the butter mixture.
  8. Gently fold the flour into this mixture.
  9. Spoon the batter into the prepared piping bag.
  10. Pipe 3 inch long strips onto the prepared baking sheets. You should leave about 2 inches between each strip – enough space for the mixture to spread.
  11. If you’re garnishing the cookies, sprinkle them with lavender, cinnamon, zest, hundreds of thousands, pistachios, or cocoa nibs. Just use one garnish on each cookie.
  12. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven until golden around the edges, approximately 5-8 minutes.
  13. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before loosening them carefully with a palette knife.
  14. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely and become crisp.
  15. If you want chocolate-dipped cookies, allow them to cool completely before dipping.
