Cookies And Cream Buttercream Recipes

Steps:

• In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg whites, sugar and salt over a pot of simmering water. Whisking constantly, cook until sugar and salt dissolve and mixture is warm to touch (about 160 degrees). Using the whisk attachment, beat mixture on low speed and gradually increase to high, beating until mixture is stiff and glossy, about 10 minutes. With mixer on low, add butter a few tablespoons at a time, then whisk in vanilla. Using paddle attachment, beat buttercream until air bubbles are gone and mixture is smooth. Gently fold in crushed cookies. Use immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and meringue powder in a stainless steel bowl and whisk to combine. Mix egg whites and corn syrup. Combine the egg white mixture with the sugar mixture and whisk vigorously. Heat mixture over a hot water bath, stirring occasionally. The meringue is ready when the sugar is dissolved. Whip in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment for 10 to 15 minutes. Slowly add the cool, room temperature butter and shortening. Add the vanilla seeds and then fold in the crushed cookies.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Steps:

• Cream together shortening, egg, vanilla and sugar.
• In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture in three phases, alternating with the three tablespoons of milk.
• Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. At this point the dough can be kept overnight in the fridge or for several months in the freezer.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Flour a smooth surface, and roll the dough to 1/4 inch, working with about half the dough at a time. Put the remaining dough in the fridge to stay chilled. Cut out the cookies with cookie cutters of your choice.
