Ingredients
- For the cookies
- 150 grams Pastry flour
- 50 grams sugar
- 80 grams cold butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 Tbsps cold water
- For the glaze
- 150 grams powdered sugar
- 4 Tbsps lemon juice
- red and green Food coloring
Preparation steps
For the cookies: In a bowl, stir the flour with the sugar. Cube the butter and scatter over the flour. Add the egg yolk and water, and cut into the mixture with a knife or pastry cutter until crumbly. Knead until a smooth dough is formed. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. On a floured surface, roll the dough to 2-3 mm (approximately 1/8 inch) thick.
Cut out cookies with a candy cane cutter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a 180°C (approximately 350°F)(gas mark 2-3, fan: 160 degrees) oven until light golden, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
For the glaze: In a bowl, stir the powdered sugar with the lemon juice until smooth. Divide the glaze into 3 portions and color 2 with red and green food coloring. Decorate the candycanes with the glaze.
