Holiday Piped Rosette Cookies 🎄🍪
Delicate, buttery cookies with a festive swirled design—perfect for holiday trays, gifting, or cozy evenings by the fire.
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tbsp milk (optional, to adjust dough consistency)
- Sprinkles or colored sugar (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar until creamy (2–3 minutes). Add egg and vanilla. Gradually mix in dry ingredients. Add milk if needed for smooth, soft dough.
- Pipe Rosettes: Fit piping bag with large star tip (#1M or #2D). Fill with dough and pipe rosettes onto baking sheets, swirling from center outward. Sprinkle with festive sugar or sprinkles if desired.
- Bake: Bake 8–10 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on sheets briefly, then transfer to wire rack.
Tips
- Piping Practice: Test on parchment first to control swirl pressure.
- Flavor Variations: Add almond extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg for a holiday twist.
- Decorating: Drizzle with white chocolate or glaze after baking for elegance.
