I don’t focus on exact grams — I work with proportions.The basic rule is easy to remember:
1 part butter : 2 parts flour : 1 part sugar
In this batch, that means:
- 100 g butter
- 200 g flour
- 100 g sugar
- A very small amount of cold water - 20-30g
The key is not to overwork the dough. Mix just until everything comes together. If you keep kneading, you’ll lose the crunchiness.
I add spices, like cinnamon, right at the end — just before the dough is finished.
Once the dough is ready:
- Wrap it and let it rest 30 minutes in the fridge
- Roll it out
- Use your favorite cutters and shape your cookies
Simple proportions, gentle hands of my daughter, and good rest time — that’s the secret to perfect, crunchy cookies.
