Finest Christmas turmeric cookies
You are right to wonder what turmeric is doing here
- FOR THE DOUGH:
- 227 g room-temperature butter
- 333 g crystal sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 big eggs
- 2 tsp Nielsen Massey vanilla extract
- 2 tsp ground BIO turmeric
- 2 tsp BIO baking powder
- 300 g plain flour
- FOR THE SUGAR SPRINKLING:
- 100 g crystal sugar
- 2 tsp ground BIO turmeric
- Heat the oven to 190 degrees.
- Line two baking sheets with baking paper.
- Mix the butter, sugar and salt with a whisk or mixer until the mixture becomes soft and creamy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until everything is combined.
- Add turmeric and baking powder and mix gently.
- Add the flour and mix gently until everything is combined. Clean the edges of the bowl with a spatula and mix everything together once more.
- Place the dough in the refrigerator to firm up, for 10-15 minutes.
- During this time, make the sugar sprinkle. Mix sugar and turmeric in a small bowl.
- Scoop out the dough with a spoon or an ice cream scoop and shape it into balls (weighing approximately 40 g).
- Roll each ball in a sprinkle of sugar and turmeric and place them on a baking sheet. Leave enough space between the balls because the biscuits will expand during baking.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until they start turning brown on the edges. Leave them to cool - they will be crispy on the edges and softer in the middle.
Vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, rum and, if you wish, cardamom and tonka - these are the essential aromas that so unmistakably evoke Christmas and the joy of enjoying holiday sweets. You are right to wonder what turmeric is doing in that story, a spice that we are used to using mostly in savory dishes.
The fine and delicate Christmas cookies that we have prepared this holiday season in collaboration with the legendary French cosmetic brand L'Occitane prove that it has a place in the sweet part of the Christmas table. Yellow and crispy, with a slightly lemony aroma, these biscuits will bring a little warmth and optimism to the gray winter days.
