Ingredients

  • 220 g Emborg Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tbsp Emborg Milk
  • 140 g Sugar
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 2 Yolks
  • 280 g Flour
  • 1 Vanilla Bean (optional)
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon

Christmas cookies are a perfect addition to the holidays, together with the family. Bake and decorate your own cookies and fill the house with the delicious smell of Christmas. 

Method:

Start by mixing the butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Then, add in the vanilla, then the yolks, one at a time.

Add in the flour and mix until just combined. Scrape down the bowl during beating. Then add in the milk at the end, to loosen up the mixture a little.

To make the cookies, you can either pack the dough into a cookie press or fill a piping bag (with a star nozzle) with the mix.

Press out or pipe the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined tray. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle it on top of your cookies. Bake at 175 °C for around 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Enjoy!

 

Tip:

Make a big portion and freeze the cookie dough, then you will have cookies ready to bake for the entire Christmas season.

To give the cookies an extra-festive look, mix up some icing and decorate the Christmas cookies together with the family!
