Galletas De Nata Clotted Cream Cookies

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the clotted cream and granulated sugar. Cream them together using a hand mixer or a stand mixer until light and fluffy.

2. Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition to fully incorporate them into the mixture.

3. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavors of the dough. Mix until evenly distributed.

4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour while continuously mixing the dough. The dough will come together and form a soft, pliable texture.

5. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness of the cookies. Mix gently to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.

6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

7. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters of your choice to cut out shapes from the dough.

8. Carefully transfer the cut-out cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for slight spreading.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn lightly golden brown.

10. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

11. Optional: Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a festive finish before serving.
