Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl, and beat well to cream.

Step 2

Scrape down your mixing bowl, as sometimes the butter can accumulate on the sides, and add the eggs, mixing until well incorporated.

Step 3

Sift in the flour and salt and mix until it forms a soft dough.

Step 4

Add the *instant pudding powder and baking powder, and mix until combined.

Step 5

*Instant Pudding Powder manufacturers: Moirs, Royal, Angel Delight, Jell-O & Dr. Oetker (from what I can find). In South Africa, I use Moirs instant pudding powder. They come in a 90g packet and are mixed with 450ml milk – BUT DON’T MIX IT WITH MILK FOR THIS RECIPE – USE THE POWDER ONLY!!! I’m just letting you know what the pack size and normal mixing instructions are, as manufacturers vary around the world.

Step 6

*I know, for instance, that Angel Delight in the UK is a 59g packet to 300ml milk, so you’d need 1½ packets, while Jell-O in the USA is a 96g packet… hope this helps to make that a little clearer for recipe adjustments!

Step 7

This cookie dough can be frozen for up to six months, which is handy if you’re making multiple batches.

Step 8

Place the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes to get cold before making the cookies.

Step 9

To make the cookies, measure out tablespoonfuls of dough, roll into balls, and place on a baking sheet prepared with greased parchment paper. Place each ball in the center of a 6cm round cookie cutter, and press flat using the bottom of a glass. If you’re confused about this method, the video demonstrates exactly how it’s done!

Step 10

Place on the middle shelf in a pre-heated oven and bake at 180˚ Celsius or 360˚ Fahrenheit for 13 minutes.

Step 11

Allow to cool, and then decorate with royal icing.

Step 12

Place the meringue powder in a mixing bowl. Add the water and whisk for a minute until smooth.

Step 13

Add the cream of tartar and whisk again for 30 seconds.

Step 14

Place the icing sugar in a mixer, and add the meringue powder mixture to it, and the vanilla extract (to your liking) and beat for 10 minutes on a low speed.

Step 15

If the mixture is thick after mixing, you can add a bit of water and mix it again to incorporate.

Step 16

Add colorant of your choice to the the royal icing and ice you cookies. Have fun!
