Preparation

Medium

In a deep bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder with a whisk. In an electric mixer with the paddle attachment (not the whisk), mix the room temperature butter with the sugar. Add the egg, brandy, and vanilla and continue to combine. Gradually add the flour and finish mixing. Place the dough on a clean floured surface and make two balls of dough. Cover the balls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days. Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Prepare two baking trays with parchment paper. Flour a clean surface and use a rolling pin to roll out one ball of dough to about 1/4 cm thick. It is important to use the rolling pin sideways and keep moving the dough to prevent sticking. With the shirt and tie shaped mold, cut the cookies and place them on the baking trays. Bake for 10 minutes or until they are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting by beating the powdered sugar, egg white, and water with an electric mixer using the paddle attachment. Paint the frostings with artificial food coloring. Decorate the cookies with the frostings.
