# Ingredient list:
→ Cookie Dough
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour

06 - 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

07 - 5 oz white chocolate, melted
08 - 1/4 cup silver sugar pearls or white sprinkles

# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
02 - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and blend thoroughly until fully combined.
03 - Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until a smooth dough forms without overworking.
04 - Shape the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes to firm.
05 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
06 - On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough to approximately 1/4 inch thickness to ensure even baking.
07 - Using snowflake-shaped cookie cutters, carefully cut out shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until cookie edges begin to turn a light golden color.
09 - Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool fully on a wire rack to set their form.
10 - Dip or drizzle the cooled cookies with melted white chocolate, adorn with sugar pearls or sprinkles, and finish with a dusting of icing sugar.
