Tips for Making the Best Pastissets:
- Make sure your butter is cold. This will help the cookies keep their shape when baking.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the dough from curdling.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the dough in two additions, mixing until just combined. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that they bake evenly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dusting them with powdered sugar. This will help the powdered sugar stick to the cookies.
Conclusion:
Pastissets are a delicious and easy-to-make Spanish cookie. With their light and airy texture and delicate flavor, they are the perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you are serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack, pastissets are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
