Angeletti





Makes 36 cookies| Hands-On Time: 30m| Total Time: 1hr 00m

Ingredients

  • ·     8  tablespoons  (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2  cup  granulated sugar
  • 1/2  teaspoon  pure vanilla extract
  • 2  large eggs
  • 2  cups  all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for rolling the dough
  • 2  teaspoons  baking powder
  • 1/4  teaspoon  kosher salt

Glaze:
1 1/3  cups  confectioners’ sugar
1/2  teaspoon  pure vanilla extract
2  tablespoons  multicolor nonpareil sprinkles, for decoration (optional)



Directions

Heat oven to 375° F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and eggs until blended.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until just combined (do not over-mix).
With floured hands, roll level tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheets,
spacing them 2 inches apart. 
Bake until puffed and the bottoms are pale golden, 7 to 8 minutes.

Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar,
2 tablespoons water, and the vanilla until the mixture forms a thick but pour-able glaze (add more water if necessary).
Dip the top of each cookie into the glaze and let set, rounded side up, on a rack set over a piece of parchment paper. 
Sprinkle with non-pareils, if using.
Allow the glaze to set, about 20 minutes.
 Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
