Time 2h50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon white vinegar, or as needed
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons meringue powder
⅓ cup water
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Stir flour and baking powder together in a bowl.
  • Beat butter and white sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat 1 minute more. Slowly add flour mixture and blend until dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Turn dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Knead dough a few times using your hands and form into 2 discs. Wrap each dough disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
  • Remove 1 disc of dough from the refrigerator. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface; top with a piece of parchment paper. Roll out dough to about 1/3-inch thickness. Cut dough with round cookie cutters and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place baking sheet with cookies on it in the freezer or refrigerator for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are just barely beginning to turn golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 1 minute; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with second disc of dough.
  • Wipe down all equipment for making the icing with vinegar, including spatulas, measuring cups, and bowls.
  • Combine confectioners' sugar and meringue powder in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment.
  • Mix water, corn syrup, and clear vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Pour water mixture into sugar mixture and beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form in the icing, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Decorate cooled cookies with icing.
