Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

250 g all-purpose flour (8.8 oz/ 2 cups)
125 g granulated sugar (4.4 oz/ 2/3 cup)
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar (Note 2)

Steps:

  • Dough: Place the flour, cold cubed butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt, and egg in the food processor. Process shortly to form the dough.

  • Brush: Mix the egg yolk and the milk, brush the cookies with the mixture. Sprinkle with the sprinkles.
  • Bake for 7-10 minutes until only lightly golden. Let rest on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Repeat: Roll the remaining dough and repeat. Roll all the scraps again and make more cookies.
