Angeletti (Italian Christmas Cookies)

• portions: 30 servings
• temps actif: 30 minutes
• temps total: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingrédients

¾ cup white sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup whole milk

3 large eggs

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

2 cups confectioners' sugar

3 ½ tablespoons water

½ cup colored candy sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large cookie sheet.

Whisk together sugar, butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until blended.

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and stir until evenly blended. Cover the surface of the dough with plastic wrap or waxed paper and let stand for 5 minutes.

With floured hands, shape dough by level tablespoon into 1-inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until puffed on top and light brown on the bottom, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes. Shape remaining dough into cookies and baking instructions.

Whisk together confectioners' sugar and water in a small bowl until blended. Dip the top of each cooled cookie into the glaze, then place on a wire rack set over waxed paper (this will catch any drips.) Immediately sprinkle cookies with candy sprinkles. Allow glaze to set for about 20 minutes.
