Busias White Velvet Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Gradually beat flour into creamed mixture. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to roll, 2 hours., Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with floured 3-in. cookie cutters. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake until set (do not brown), 10-12 minutes. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely., For frosting, in a bowl, beat butter, shortening and vanilla until blended. Beat in confectioners' sugar and enough milk to reach spreading consistency; beat until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. If desired, beat in food coloring. Frost cookies. (Keep frosting covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)

Steps:

• Move racks to the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated, about 1 minute more. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add 1 tablespoon red food coloring (and up to 1 1/2 tablespoons for really red cookies) and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to combine. Add to the mixer and mix on low speed until fully incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the buttermilk (or milk) and mix on low speed to combine, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add about 3/4 of the white chocolate and mix on low speed to combine. Scoop 2 tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between each piece. Use your palm to flatten the balls slightly.
• Press the remaining white chocolate chunks into the surface of each piece of dough. Bake for 12 minutes, until the cookies appear set on the outside and puffed in the center, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Cool completely on the baking sheet.

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs.
• Dissolve the baking soda in the milk, then add to mixture. Add the vanilla and mix well
• Place salt in with flour and slowly stir into mixture. The dough should not be too sticky and should pull away from the sides of the bowl easily. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour.
• Form the dough into a roll about a foot long and 2-3 inches in diameter. Roll up in wax paper and put in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Remove from refrigerator and let dough come to room temperature. Roll out dough a chunk at a time (one dough log makes about 4 chunks).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Cut your cookies and decorate or bake plain for 8-10 minutes. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cream together the maragarine and cream cheese.
• Add the sugar, egg yolks, nutmeg, and vanilla Beat until fluffy.
• Add the flour in portions; mix well. The dough will be a bit sticky, do not add extra flour!
• Chill for a minimum of 4 hours, up to two days in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven at 350°F.
• On a smooth surface, roll the dough out to a 1/4 inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters!
• Place dough shapes on greased cookie sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake 9-11 minutes, or until slightly firm to the touch. Edges should not be brown.
• Cool on sheets two minutes, remove cookies to wax paper to cool completely. Note: if you use paper towels or brown paper bags, they will absorb addition grease out of the cookies, but the cookies will be drier.
• Enjoy or frost with an icing of your choice. Decorate with colored sugar if desired.
• Note: Number of servings depends on the what size cookie cutters you use. For a medium size I can get 60-70 cookies. With a larger size, only about 50-60 cookies.
