What could be better than cookies at Christmas? Cookies with a cute look! Watch this video to see how you can make these cute reindeer at home. All you need is royal icing, some food colouring and some cornets. Maybe two or three extra attempts and patience...but it's worth it!
160 g butter, soft
80 g icing sugar
30 g egg white
240 g white flour
1/2 tsp vanilla seeds
20 g couverture, dark
150 g royal icing mix
28 g water
Cream the butter together with the icing sugar and then slowly add the egg whites.
Now add the vanilla seeds, the flour and the melted dark couverture.
Mix briefly on a low speed until you get a kind of crumble.
Now knead the mixture with your hands until you get a firm dough.
Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the fridge for about 1 hour.
After refrigeration, knead the dough briefly and then roll out to a thickness of 5 mm on a floured work surface with the help of rolling pins .
Cut out the dough with the reindeer cutters and place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 190 °C convection oven for about 15 minutes.
Leave to cool for at least 20 minutes.
For the icing:
Mix the water together with the royal icing mix and whip it with a food processor for 7-10 minutes.
Colour the mixture to the desired colour, fill it into a cornet, cut off a small tip and use it to trace the edge of the cookie.
Add a little water to the rest of the icing and fill in the bordered part. The extra water helps the icing to spread and become nice and smooth.
