Scandinavian Snowflake Cookies are a staple during the holiday season in Nordic countries. With their delicate snowflake shape and sweet confectioners' sugar coating, they are a festive addition to any holiday cookie platter. The dough is mixed with milk, flour, baking powder, white sugar, and butter before being rolled out and cut into shapes. The cookies are then fried until golden brown and coated in powdered sugar before serving. Traditional and delicious, these cookies are sure to impress your family and friends during the holidays.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix the milk, flour, baking powder, white sugar, and butter together until you form a dough.
2.	Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
3.	Using a decorative cookie cutter, cut the dough into small snowflake shapes.
4.	In a deep fryer or large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil on high until hot.
5.	Fry the cookies in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
6.	Drain the cookies on paper towels and coat with confectioners' sugar before serving.
