Traditional Danish cookies are known for their delightful shapes, often reminiscent of the classic Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies. While those commercially available treats are fun, sometimes simplicity is key, especially when diving into Cartoon Danish Food. In “The Simpsons,” a plain-looking butter cookie is offered, and in the spirit of culinary exploration and cartoon accuracy, we’re going to recreate this humble yet delicious treat. Forget fancy shapes for now; we’re aiming for a classic Danish butter cookie that would make any cartoon character proud!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 1 egg
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a stand mixer, combine the butter, sugar, and vanilla bean. Beat these ingredients together until they are well mixed, creating a smooth and creamy base for your cartoon danish food cookies. Next, incorporate the egg, mixing until just combined. Gradually add the flour, scraping down the sides of the mixer bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly incorporated. Once all ingredients are well combined, shape the dough into a “sausage” using plastic wrap. For perfectly portioned cartoon danish food cookies, aim for a diameter of about 2 to 3 inches. Chill the dough for 20 minutes in the refrigerator. After chilling, slice the dough into cookies and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
