Slice And Bake Clover Cookies Recipes

SLICE AND BAKE CLOVER COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl (with a hand mixer), beat butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla and almond, mix until combined. Add the flour and salt, mix until a soft dough forms.
• Divide the dough into two balls. Wrap one ball in plastic wrap and set aside. Fold the green food coloring into the remaining ball until it is a uniform color. Flatten into a 1-inch thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator along with the ball of dough. Chill for 3 hours.
• Remove the green dough, using a clover shaped cookie cutter, cut as many clovers as you can out of the dough, re-rolling the dough as needed.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water. Brush over the tops of each clover, and stack into a tall "tower." You want the clovers to be lined up as evenly as possible. Lay the tower down, so that it's one long log of clovers. Wrap with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Break the ball of dough into several pieces and roll into ropes. When the clover log is ready, remove it and line the clovers with the long ropes. You want to encase the clovers completely. Press tightly, then roll on a lightly floured surface into a smooth log. Brush the outside with egg wash, then roll in the sprinkles. I used a loaf pan to do this and it worked really well. Return to the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Slice the log into ¼" thick slices. Place 12 on a baking sheet at a time. Bake for 10-12 minutes, remove from the oven and allow to cool on the sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
