Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup powdered sugar until fully combined and no lumps remain.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, and use a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse sand with no visible butter pieces.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp edible silver luster dust until the dough holds together when pinched.
  4. Step 4: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, roll each into a 1-inch ball, then flatten into 1/4-inch thick discs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Using a small round cookie cutter, cut out 12 perfect snowflake shapes from each disc, gently pressing the cutter straight down to avoid tearing the dough.
  6. Step 6: Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 8-10 minutes until the edges just begin to turn golden and the cookies feel set to the touch.
  7. Step 7: Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing the snowflake details to crisp without melting.
