Me neither Charlotte, me neither. But I won’t be admitting that to you for as long as I can swing it. Here’s hoping we don’t die young. And cheers to all your future dental bills. Here’s a quick shopping list to help you gather your ingredients. See the recipe card below for the full ingredients and instructions! The other different thing about this recipe is that there is no sugar mixed in the dough; instead you roll and fold the dough in sugar several times, which makes tiny delicate layers. Sprinkle the sugar directly onto the dough and fold it in. These layers are what make the cookies so light and flakey. Roll the dough into a rectangle, sprinkle with sugar, and fold it into thirds like a business envelope (add sugar between layers). Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough and a cookie cutter to cut into strips. Don´t forget to sprinkle the strips with MORE sugar! Then once you’ve shaped the twists, you roll them in sugar before baking. When you bake them the sugar gets crispy around the edges and crystalizes a little bit, giving them just the right amount of crunch on the edges while still having a tender, yeasty center. The bottoms are crispy perfection! They are sweet but not overwhelming. They are seriously the best thing that will ever be dipped in your hot chocolate! These would be great to leave out for Santa, or even to snack on for breakfast while opening stockings! If you want to save some for later, freezing is a great option. Lay the cookies out in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe airtight container or a zip-top freezer bag, and they’ll stay perfect for up to three months. When you’re ready to indulge, just thaw them at room temperature for a few hours or overnight.
