Steps to Make Christmas Reindeer Cookies
Ingredients for Cookies; Soften butter before use
Mix powdered sugar with butter in a bowl with a scraper to prevent powdered sugar from splashing during beating
Beat the mixture until smooth with an electric egg beater, add half of the egg liquid, mix well, and then add the second half
Beat the butter and egg mixture until smooth
Sift the flour into the butter mixture
Mix with a scraper until the dough forms a ball without dry flour
Place the dough on a plastic wrap, knead it into a tight ball, and roll it out into a thick sheet. Refrigerate for at least two hours until it hardens
Roll out the hardened dough into a sheet about 3-4mm thick
Use a 5.5cm cookie cutter to cut out circular dough pieces, and repeat the process with the remaining dough
Place the cookie dough on a non-stick baking sheet
Bake in a preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes on the middle rack with both upper and lower heat
Remove from the baking sheet and let cool on a rack before using
Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler and put it in a piping bag. Draw the reindeer’s antlers and eyes on the cookies with the piping bag
Put the prepared powdered sugar into a piping bag, squeeze it onto the mouth and nose of the reindeer; add red pigment to a small amount of powdered sugar, mix well, and roll the sugar granules in it. If there are red sugar granules, this step can be omitted
Use a clamp to place the sugar granules on the mouth and nose as a small red nose. The reindeer is complete!
The cute little reindeer is so adorable
The chubby little face is so cute
Looking from the side, the little nose is also quite interesting
