Steps

HOW TO MAKE CHRISTMAS BUTTER COOKIES

First, make the buttery shortcrust pastry. Whip the sugar with the soft butter until they become a cream, add the milk and finally the sifted flour. Knead the dough that will be a bit sticky. Roll it out and form a large rectangle not too thin. Use a mold and make many cookies. I used a round form in the shape of flowers but you can use whatever you want. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake, at 180 degrees, for about 15 to 20 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the cookies because this dough tends to darken quickly. Remove from oven and let them cool.

Meanwhile, prepare the icing. Lightly whip the egg white, it should just foam, add the lemon juice and a little at a time the icing sugar you will get a nice thick icing but use it immediately because it undermines easily. Take the cookies and begin to glaze the surface, uniteci currants and if you want some green leaves. Let the glaze dry and then enjoy them. You can store these cookies in a latat box or in the transparent bags for food.
