Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat until combined.\r\n\r\nStir the flour and salt together with a fork in a separate bowl, then add to the butter mixture. Mix until it forms a soft dough. Form the dough into a flattish disk, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm enough to roll out.\r\n\r\nPre-heat the oven to 180C\/350F\/Gas 4. Divide the dough in half and roll out one half on a lightly floured surface to 5mm (1\/4 in) thick. Cut out cookies with an angel-shaped cutter (or snowflakes, stars, shoes, tiaras etc.) You can make a hole in the top of each cookie using the end of a straw. So that you can thread a ribbon through once baked. Repeat with the second half of the dough, then re-roll the trimmings and cut out more cookies.\r\n\r\nTransfer to baking sheets lined with baking parchment, spacing the cookies about 2 1\/2cm (1 in) apart. Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.\r\n\r\nWhen cool, make up the royal icing. Colour one quarter pink and one quarter blue. Transfer the remaining white icing to a piping bag fitted with narrow (no 1 or no 2) nozzle. Some of the cookies can be iced with coloured icing using a small palette knife, others can be left plain. Pipe patterns on the plain cookies and deocrate with gold or silver balls, sprinkles and glitter. Allow the iced cookies to set and then pipe patterns on these. Hang the angels with loops of thin ribbon threaded through the holes.\r\n<h3>Related article<\/h3>\r\nhttps:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/pasta-recipes-from-annabel-karmel\/\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">KidStart \u2013 a little help along the way<\/a><\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gorgeous recipe for Annabel Karmel&#8217;s cookies &#8211; perfect for hanging on your Christmas tree!","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13978,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3500,3348],"tags":[686,238,443,241,687],"class_list":["post-1459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tasty-family-food-and-recipes","category-lifestyle-tips-for-families","tag-angels","tag-annabel-karmel","tag-christmas-2","tag-cookies","tag-snowflakes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 -
