Tender Sand Balls

[isi]

Hello

Today I will set a recipe that is in our "Portuguese" TMX 31 basic recipe book!
These biscuits are so delicious and tender - they melt on the tongue!
It is impossible that someone don't like them
Very nice to tea or coffee or .............nothing

TENDER SAND BALLS



300 grams of flour
100 grams of sugar
1 packet Vanilla sugar (2 teaspoons Homemade) (see recipe below) or use a teaspoon of vanilla extract

200 grams of butter
1 pinch of salt
fine sugar to roll the cookies

Mix all ingredients in the TMX at Level 6 / 30 seconds.

Form Small  Balls (I make allways 16-18 gram Balls)
Put in preheated 180 º oven for approximately 15-20 minutes  ( each oven is different - the biscuits should not be too dark!) Now, take the ball from the baking sheet and roll in sugar and let cool on a grid!
Mhhhhhhhhhhhh   -  delicious
Hope you enjoy it

katesjoy - Vanilla sugar recipe from the EDC -  200g sugar, 1 vanilla bean cut into few pieces.  Put sugar and vanilla bean in a jar and leave for 2-3 days to dry out.  Transfer vanilla bean and sugar to the TM bowl and pulverise for 15 seconds on speed 10.

Nay-nay - They turned out perfect - like shortbread. The kids and hubby had a good laugh at the name too but enjoyed them. Thanks.

cookie - I made these using a teaspoonful of vanilla paste. They are lovely and very easy to make.

I so want to make these.  One question the Vanillasugar - you have recipe to homemake?

[Lexi]

lol ok found Vanilla sugar recipe. Got no vanilla beans. I suppose using Vanilla essence wont work as well?

[isi]

Of course, the essence serves perfectly!
I hope it goes well!
