Critical Success Points

  • Whisk the butter and powdered sugar until a pale, creamy consistency is achieved
  • Sift all dry ingredients before incorporating them
  • Roll the dough very thin (≈3 mm) so the cookies double in size without becoming too thick
  • Watch the baking: the cookies should remain pale in the centre
  • Whisk the buttercream long enough for it to become airy

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven; wear kitchen gloves when removing the sheets
  • Be careful with sharp knives and cookie cutters
