Christmas Cookies for Santa Claus - DIY Cookie Baking
What all children love, many would not mind tryingadults and, of course, what can raise the Christmas spirit? Of course, New Year's cookies. In European countries, there is a very popular tradition of leaving Santa Claus a small gift in the form of milk and cookies on the table when he comes home. This tradition has been passed on to some of our families, and therefore, cooking cookies for the New Year and Christmas holidays is a special tradition. Cooking cookies can include a number of subtleties that an ordinary person may know about. But for a culinary master, such problems will seem trivial. Nevertheless, knowledge of the technique of cooking real, tasty, fluffy and unique cookies will help decorate any table during the New Year holidays and improve it in an independent way! Try to implement it in your family! It is not difficult to do this, you just need to have the necessary recipe and clearly understand what needs to be done. If the first task is much easier to cope with, because there are enough recipes on the network, then the instructions for cooking - can be not an easy matter. After all, it would seem that a simple list of products can become a real obstacle on the way to preparing a real delicacy of a culinary dish. Our recipe will be divided into two parts - on the one hand, we prepare the body of the cookie itself, on the other hand - decorations for this very confectionery product. Ingredients for cooking
- We need two-thirds of a measuring glass per 250 milliliters of butter
- Also 125 milliliters of sugar
- 2 small eggs
- 500 milliliters of flour.
- Also, a teaspoon of cinnamon, or spices for winter confectionery sweets
- A small whipped egg white to cover pastry
Next, you will need the following ingredients to decorate our cookies:
- Take jam cream or jelly, preferably from red berries
- Also, you need a powder of sugar
- Take the sweet glaze in special tubes, preferably in different colors.
- Also, you will need a variant of decorative sugar for the product
- Also, we'll take a fondant with different color solutions, as well as a special syringe that will help us squeeze the product.
- Also, special tools will be required. You need a baking sheet, preferably two. Also, you need a small spatula with a thin tree, as well as special sets of nozzles for cutting a confectionery product. Also, without a set, you can dispense cups, various other molds.
First, take sugar and butter in order tobeat them. You need to beat until the sugar dissolves. Next, you need to add the egg yolk, then - flour, which you sift through a sieve. Also, it is better to change the whisk for the mixer while you are adding flour. You need to put a nozzle that is suitable for the dough. The dough will look thicker. Cooking cookies Next, you need to take and separate a piece of dough equal to one quarter. It must be wrapped in a special cloth, and then put in the refrigerator so that the material cools. After you have done this, you need to turn on our cooking tool (oven), and then heat it to a temperature of 180 degrees. We cover the trays with our paper or foil. Also, sprinkle the table with flour so that the procedure for rolling out the dough is easier. The dough must be rolled out to a height of 3 millimeters. Also, it will be easier to work with the dough if you sprinkle flour on top. This way, nothing will stick to the rolling pin. Then, cut out our figures using special sets for creating beautiful confectionery. You can make a sandwich cookie version using jam and two halves. Make a flat circle for the bottom version of the sandwich, and for the top - form the cookie in the form of wavy edges. Supplement the top circle with a cut in the middle. Then, the shapes that we cut out should be immediately transferred to a baking sheet so that the New Year cookies do not touch each other. At the same time, try to make sure that the shape of the cookies does not deteriorate. This is especially important at the moment when you transfer your cookies to the baking sheet. Finishing cooking After you prepare the first tray, you need to put it in the oven. Watch how the baking is going, especially for the first batch. Then, depending on the results, leave the cookies for the required time. The cookies should be light in color and soft. To decorate a batch of New Year's cookies, you can use an element of mastic or fondant. The fondant needs to be mixed with an element of food coloring, for this we use different bowls. The mastic can also be stored inside the refrigerator. Also, the mastic is placed in a special dispenser bag, with the help of which it is much easier to decorate with such an element. Then, wait until the mastic dries and start eating your delicious cookies! And most importantly - do not forget to leave a little for Santa Claus
