Clover Cookies
Description
Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer at high speed until fluffy. Add eggs. Reduce speed and gradually add the flour mixture in two batches, beating after each addition. Add vanilla. Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 175°C. Roll out one portion of the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 3 mm. Using a cookie cutter, cut out 25 cookies. Using a clover stencil, decorate the cookies with green sugar. Arrange cookies on a baking sheet. Chill for about 15 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining dough. Bake cookies until they begin to brown, for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
