Preparing the shortcrust dough for Halloween cookies

Shortcrust pastry is the perfect base for creating crunchy and delicious cookies. Follow these steps to get an easy-to-handle dough.

Preparing the shortcrust pastry:

Place the Dolce 190 type “0” flour in a mound on the pastry board. Add the sugar and the two yolks in the center. Flavor with the grated zest of half a lemon and a pinch of salt. Quickly work the mixture with your fingers to combine the ingredients.

Add the butter:

Incorporate the cold butter cut into cubes and knead vigorously until you form a dough ball. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 40 minutes.

Rolling and baking the cookies

Rolling the dough:

After chilling, roll the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 4-5 mm.

Cut the cookies:

Using Halloween-themed cutters (pumpkins, bats, ghosts), cut out your cookies. Gather the leftover dough and roll it out again to make more cookies until the dough is used up.

Baking:

Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10-12 minutes, until the surface is lightly golden.

Preparing the icing for decorating Halloween cookies

The most fun part comes with the decoration! The colorful icing will turn your cookies into real works of art.

Make the icing:

In a bowl, mix the egg whites with the lemon juice and beat with an electric whisk. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until you get a smooth and homogeneous consistency.

Color the icing:

Divide the icing into several bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to get the desired shades. Prepare different colors to create original effects.

Decoration and presentation

Decorate the cookies:

Use a piping bag or a spoon to decorate the cookies with the colored icing. Let the icing dry for a few minutes before serving.

Serve them to your guests:

These cookies are perfect to serve at a Halloween party or to offer to the little vampires, witches, and zombies that come knocking on your door.

Tips for customizing Halloween cookies

Add spices: For extra flavor, try adding cinnamon or ginger to the shortcrust dough.
Substitute the butter: For a lighter version, you can replace the butter with coconut oil.
Decorate with chocolate: You can add chocolate chips or draw small details on the decorations using melted dark chocolate.
