Autumn is just around the corner and it's slowly getting colder. These plastic cookie cutters from Decora look great in the simplest shortbread dough and will warm your heart.

The perfect dough for autumn cookie cutters

The plastic cookie cutters are suitable for different types of dough. A simple shortbread dough is not only delicious, but also quick to make.

You need:

300g flour

150g powdered sugar

1 sachet of vanilla sugar

1egg

1 tsp baking powder

Zest of one untreated lemon

150g butter

This is how it works:

Simply mix all the ingredients together and knead into a firm dough. You can also use a kneading machine for this.
Now you can roll out the dough thinly and cut it into any shape you like. Make sure that your work surface, your hands, the rolling pin and the cookie cutters are floured. This will prevent your dough from tearing during processing. A thinly rolled out dough will be crispy after baking. If you want your cookies to be softer, you can also leave the dough 0.5 cm thick. We recommend that you leave the dough 0.5 cm thick, as the cookie cutters leave an imprint in the cookie dough. This makes the biscuits look even more beautiful after baking.
Now place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius until golden brown.

A little tip: when to use cold butter and when to use room temperature or warm butter?

Quite simply, cold butter is ideal for kneading doughs such as most cookie doughs. The cold butter holds the dough together and gives the dough stability. So use cold butter for your cookies and cookies. This makes it easier to lift the cut shapes onto the baking tray. If you notice that your dough is getting stickier and warmer, put the dough in the fridge for a few minutes.
Warm butter is used for smooth doughs. The butter is usually beaten with eggs and sugar to prevent lumps. This is usually the case with cake recipes.
