About this deal
I added a 1/6 cup whole milk. My hands still burned as I strained, but now the slowest, jagged little mass of dough began to poke out. I returned the dough to the bowl and added another 1/6 cup milk.
You will need an electric hand mixerto whip together wet ingredients with the powdered sugar and a rubber spatulato gently fold in the dry ingredients.Fold in 1-2 tablespoons of milk to loosen the dough and make it easier to pipe. It should be stiff yet pipeable.
Pipe 5cm / 2-inch circles onto the baking sheets. Leave enough room between each cookie to give them room to puff up and spread. Unsalted butter- Always use unsalted butter to fully control the amount of salt in the recipe. I prefer butter with 82% fat content in my recipes as it gives baked goods the best taste and texture. You can also make your own homemade butter. The butter needs to be at room temperature. TIP: If you forget to set your butter out to soften, you can put it in the microwave on defrost mode for 20 or 30 seconds to soften it up.I was about to write a scathing review of this recipe because of how truly impossible it proved to pipe. (Yes, I used the Wilton 1m.) I squeezed until my hand muscles burned and the silicone bag tie broke. Then I asked my [martial artist] husband to squeeze. He squeezed and strained and grunted until the bag split down the side, but no cookie dough came through the tip. It is very easy to make- You only need 30 minutes and a few easy steps to prepare the cookie dough. The rest of the time is to wait for the dough to freeze, bake, and set.
Flour- Plain, all purpose flourworks great for this recipe. Like powdered sugar, sift the flour first to remove lumps before using it in the recipe. Form the dough into a long loaf which makes it easier to put in the piping bag. Step 4: Pipe the cookie shapes and bake them If you want to get a little fancy, go to the nearest dollar store like Dollar General and buy the round tins they have, usually around Christmas time, but they may have them year-round. Then place cupcake paper cups on the bottom, and add a homemade Danish butter cookie to each paper cup. Add a round piece of parchment paper or wax paper on top, then add another layer. A fun gift to give to your neighbors, friends, and family. Always use room temperature butter and milk to better blend into the batter. Always sift the dry ingredients first to eliminate any lumps.
Do not use a stand mixer to add in the salt, flour, or milk, as it will overmix the ingredients and result in a dough that is too loose. Use a rubber spatulato gently fold together the ingredients just until combined.
