Tastebud Tuesday: Lattice Top Cookies

How cute are these lattice top cookies? We borrowed this recipe from Not Martha and can't wait to whip up a batch... The perfect project for a rainy day!

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
2 1/4 sticks (18 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
4 to 6 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed

Directions

Pulse flour, sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter and process for about 10 seconds or until mixture resembles coarse meal. With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream through the feed tube until dough just holds together (no longer than 30 seconds). Divide dough in half, wrap each in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Roll out two rounds of dough, rolling each between two layers of baking paper. Cut into strips and layer them into a lattice pattern (see detailed directions here) then using a circle cookie cutter, cut out the cookies and remove the excess dough. Transfer cookies on to a baking tray and dab them with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Then pop into the oven for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees until golden brown and you’re done!

Finally, enjoy!
