    72 Servings

Ingredients

For the Vanilla Cookies:
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour, 384 grams
  • 5 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter, 113 grams
  • 1/4 cup Shortening, 48 grams
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar, 150 grams
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste
For the Vanilla Glaze:
  • 2 cups Confectioners Sugar, sifted, 226 grams
  • 2-4 tablespoons Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour baking powder and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and shortening. Using an electric mixer, add sugar and blend ingredients well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla bean paste.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  5. Roll dough into 3/4 inch balls, or about 2 teaspoons. The dough will be soft. If dough is too sticky, use floured hands. Place on prepared cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or just until tops begin to crack. Remove cookies to wire rack and cool completely before glazing.
  7. To make the glaze, place sifted confectioners’ sugar in a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of milk and vanilla bean paste.
  8. Mix until all of the sugar is incorporated. Add additional milk as needed; glaze should be on the thick side. Dip tops of cookies in glaze and allow to dry.
