ICED SUGAR COOKIES

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h

Yield 24 to 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups cake flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1-pound box confectioners' sugar (about 3 3/4 cups)
2 tablespoons meringue powder
Nonpareils, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 2 batches and beat until just incorporated. Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, lightly dust the dough with flour and roll out between 2 pieces of parchment paper until about 1/8 inch thick. Refrigerate until slightly firm, about 15 minutes. Cut out shapes using 2-to-4-inch cookie cutters and transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Gather the scraps and refrigerate until firm; reroll once to cut out more cookies. Refrigerate the cutouts until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake the cookies, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until just golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the icing: Sift the confectioners' sugar and meringue powder into a large bowl. Beat in 6 tablespoons water with a mixer on medium speed until soft, glossy peaks form. Spread on the cookies and decorate with nonpareils. Let set, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Zucchini: Before you start baking, it's important to properly prepare your zucchini. To ensure the best texture and flavor, use a box grater to grate the zucchini and then squeeze out any excess moisture using a cheesecloth or paper towels.
  • Don't Overmix: To achieve a tender and chewy cookie, avoid overmixing the dough. Overmixing can result in a tough texture. Gently mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the flavors to meld and enhances the texture. This step also prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients plays a significant role in the outcome of your cookies. Use fresh zucchini, unsalted butter, and high-quality chocolate chips for the best results.
  • Don't Overbake: Keep a close eye on the cookies while they're baking to prevent overbaking. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake them until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.

Conclusion:

Zucchini cookies are a delicious and unique treat that combines the goodness of zucchini with the classic flavors of a cookie. With their moist texture, sweet and earthy taste, and delectable chocolate chips, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you're looking for a healthier dessert option or simply want to try something new, these iced brown sugar zucchini cookies are definitely worth a try. Remember to follow the tips above to ensure perfect results every time you bake them. Enjoy!
