Tomato Recipe: Christmas Stamped Cookies – Make Healthy Christmas Treats by Yourself! Cooking Steps

Prepare syrup by putting granulated sugar into a milk pot

Add hot water, stir with an egg beater until sugar granules completely dissolve, cool to body temperature before use

Place low-gluten flour, salt, baking powder in a mixing bowl

Add chilled butter from the refrigerator to the center of the dry ingredients, knead with hands while allowing the flour to cover the butter

Continue kneading until the butter forms rice-sized grains, then cover the butter with flour until the mixture turns a pale yellow color and has a loose, crumbly texture

Create a well in the center of the mixture, pour in the syrup

Do not mix all ingredients at once, start mixing from the center, then scrape down the sides of the flour gradually as you mix

Once all ingredients have a sticky consistency, gently knead the dough into a ball with both hands

After the dough is fully combined, place it in a plastic wrap bag, roll it out into a 3mm thick sheet, refrigerate for 30 minutes to stabilize the dough texture

Take out the chilled dough, cut a small portion to make colored icing, tear the dough into small pieces in a bowl, add a little cold water

Stir into a paste

Add food coloring, mix well

The colored icing is ready as shown in the picture

Take out the chilled dough sheet, use cookie cutters to create shapes

Place the stamp firmly on the cookie dough

Take a small amount of pink icing, place it on the stamp, spread evenly with a spatula

Place the stamped cookies on a baking tray in a preheated oven

Bake at 170 degrees for about 12 minutes, on the middle rack with both top and bottom heat, let the baked cookies cool before serving
