Light and crispy Angel Wing Cookies are shaped, fried, and dusted with powdered sugar for an irresistibly festive treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 egg yolks (from large eggs)
- 6 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar with an electric mixer until light and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Stir in cream, vanilla, melted butter, and salt until combined.
- Gradually add 2¼ cups flour, mixing until dough forms; turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding more flour if sticky.
- Divide dough into 4 pieces, wrap in plastic, and roll one piece at a time into a very thin sheet on a floured surface.
- Cut dough into 1″ strips, then into 4″ pieces; slice a 1″ slit lengthwise, thread one end through, and twist to form a ribbon shape.
- Heat oil in a saucepan to 370°F, maintaining 360–370°F. Fry 3–4 cookies for 15 seconds per side until golden.
- Drain on paper towels, repeat with remaining dough, and dust generously with powdered sugar.
