Ingredients

• 1/2 liter of water
• 30 g of hornsalt
• 100 g of unsalted butter, melted
• 750 g of sugar
• 1.5-2 kilos flour

Preparation

• Put the melted butter in a medium bowl and add the water. Mix in the sugar and hornsalt, then add a little flour at a time, mixing, until the dough comes together in a ball. It will be a bit sticky. You may not use all of the flour, depending on the conditions.
• Wrap the dough ball and refrigerate for twelve hours. After this time, remove from the refrigerator and allow to warm up a little bit on the counter.
• Preheate the oven to 425F.
• Put parchment paper over a couple of cookie sheets and set aside. Roll the dough out to about 1/8 minutes and using cookie cutters cut shapes out of the dough.
• Put the cookies on the baking sheets and bake for about 8 minutes until lightly browned on the bottom and edges. Allow to cool, and decorate with food coloring used as paint if you want.
