Not only Santa Claus loves New Year's cookies. Many adults and children will enjoy them with pleasure, so housewives around the world try to bake the most delicious cookies and decorate them for New Year's Eve. Today, dear friends, I will show you a recipe with a photo that I have tested many times. It is easy to decorate because it does not crumble, you can add any spices to your taste into it. Here is a step by step recipe for the main test. I'll show you how I decorated my New Year's cookies and share the idea of ​​decorating the festive table.

I love experimenting with baking powder. Not all recipes are perfect, I will not hide the disappointments. The recipe that I will share with you now was found by me several years ago, in a book given to me, in Spanish. With the mass resulting from it, there is never a problem. From it you can bake New Year's cookies, birthday cookies or any other that you want to decorate. So, let's begin.

We will need:

  • Sugar 100 grams (no need to sift);
  • butter 100 grams (temperature is unimportant);
  • flour 250 grams (be sure to sift);
  • water 50 milliliters (it is better to take purified);
  • pinch salt (fine salt);
  • baking powder 1/2 teaspoon (I do not use soda);
  • vanillin 1/2 teaspoon.

Cooking the dough - step by step recipe

All photos in this article are enlarged when clicked.

In a small bowl, put sugar, butter, salt and pour water. We put all this mixture on a slow fire and stir with a wooden spoon until the butter and sugar are completely dissolved. No need to boil.

Now we need to cool the resulting mixture to room temperature. To do this, I pour it into a glass bowl. It is at this stage of the recipe that you should add your favorite spices. For New Year's cookies, it can be ginger, cinnamon, cloves. I limit myself to vanilla. Sift the flour into a large bowl, here we will knead the dough.

Remember the golden rule: when kneading dough at home - liquid ingredients must be poured into dry ones, and not vice versa!

Pour the resulting butter-sugar mixture into the flour in a thin stream and mix with a wooden (preferably) spoon.

According to this recipe, the kneaded mass is tender, fluffy, slightly sticking to the hands. Don't let that scare you. Of course, we all have different products, including flour. So look at my photo, and if yours looks the same, feel free to move on to the next step.

Wrap the finished batch in cling film and refrigerate.

It's in the fridge, not the freezer!

My Christmas cookie dough hardened after 1.5 hours. But sometimes I leave it in the fridge overnight. This does not change its qualities, you can roll it out as soon as you feel that it has become solid.

The dough for our New Year's cookies is ready. We divide it into 3 equal parts, 2 of which we send back to the refrigerator.

The mass thaws, so it is best to keep it in the cold, wrapped in plastic, while you work on one part of it.

Baking Christmas cookies with a child

I constantly write that my child does not let me bake anything alone. The last time we baked with him, this time Alexander helped me with cookies. At 5 years 2 months old, he can not only sift the ingredients, but also roll out the dough. This is not possible with every recipe, because it happens that the mass turns out to be very tender and does not tolerate slowness. Since we baked these cookies for Santa, I chose this particular recipe, which is easy to work with.

Let me remind you that we live in Latin America, where Catholic Christmas is celebrated. Therefore, Santa first comes to our house with gifts, and then Grandfather Frost.

So let's continue. Roll out the dough with a thickness of at least 5 millimeters. With this thickness, you will get 12 New Year's cookies according to this recipe. If the child is having difficulty with this, then collect the rolled out dough into a ball and ask to roll it out again. About six months ago, we used a ruler with Alexander to measure thickness, now you can just tell him that he overdid it (we have strong pressure) and the child himself will start all over again.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and cut out the desired shapes. I use Wilton cookie cutters. This time Alexander and I chose a snowflake, a house, a mitten and a circle.

We cover the baking sheet with waxed paper and lay the dough so that there is a distance between the figures. We bake New Year's cookies for 15-20 minutes. It all depends on the thickness of your blanks.

Tip: set the timer for 15 minutes, check for doneness, and if necessary, leave the product in the oven for another 5 minutes. This recipe takes me 20 minutes to bake.

This recipe takes me 20 minutes to bake. Once your cookies are ready, place them on a cooling rack.

I would say that you should think about how to decorate New Year's cookies when choosing a shape. Personally, I decorate with icing (glaze), but here, as you know, there are no rules. The main thing is to prepare the glaze correctly, and then turn on your imagination.

Ideas

If you decide to use decorative sugar, then you need to sprinkle it on cookies before baking or after it, but already on a thin layer of glaze.


And you can use multi-colored dragees for decoration.

And if you decide to make a traditional Christmas tree, then you will need star shapes of different sizes. And in order not to look for them in stores, it will be better and faster to cut cardboard stencils for them. Lubricate the middle of each star with glaze, fasten them together.

Our Christmas cookies with icing

Well, let's go back to our house and I'll show you how I decorated. I have been using the glaze (icing) recipe for 3 years now, I have not changed it or modified it - it is perfect without it.

First, as always, I applied a thicker glaze around the edges of the intended design, and then applied a background color from a more fluid one.

This is the height / thickness of our New Year's cookies. Since a child was present in the process, as you can see, it is not the same. But these are all trifles, the main thing is that we completed Santa's task and spent an unforgettable time with our son in the kitchen.

And finally, the parade of our decorated Christmas cookies:

Of course I still have a lot to learn, but my boys were very pleased with the result. This is evidenced by the absence of 2 cookies that were stolen even before the photos.

As I mentioned, we live in a country where Catholic Christmas is celebrated. And this means that I have a great opportunity to practice decorating the table before the New Year.

The coming year will be the year of the Rooster, so to please him, red tones predominate in the serving.

In general, this year, just at the call of my heart, I had a desire to decorate the apartment in traditional colors: red, green, white. Therefore, the decorated table perfectly blended into its surroundings. This training table setting will always tell you what is missing, so I advise you to resort to a similar method in order to be fully prepared on December 31st.

In our case, I noted for myself that I still have to make holiday napkin holders and purchase New Year's chair covers. We celebrate Christmas among the members of our small family - dad, mom and Alexander. For the child, I put a red disposable glass to avoid trouble.

Coloring cookies is very interesting and exciting. In addition, glaze is not only elegant and beautiful, but also very useful. Thanks to it, products retain freshness longer. And preparing such a decoration is very easy, simple and not expensive. For the simplest glaze, you only need sugar and water. Although there are many decoration recipes.


In order for baking to be always spectacular, beautiful and fragrant, you need to follow certain rules for preparing glaze.
  • The frosting should not be too thick or too runny. Its normal consistency is similar to sour cream. Then it will be well applied to the cookies, quickly grab and will not spread. But if it comes out too liquid, then add a little powdered sugar, too thick - hot water.
  • When preparing the glaze, often water is replaced with lemon juice, or a few drops of it are added for flavor. It will give a great taste and smell. For very sweet baked goods, lemon juice is better to use more, this will create a contrasting taste.
  • A rich taste, a soft and dense texture, the glaze will turn out on proteins and yolks. The white icing is used to draw patterns, while the yolks give a yellowish tint. For safety, it is advisable to dry such a glaze in the oven. Products are placed in a heated oven up to 100°C. This process will not only bake the glaze, but also protect against salmonella, because. it dies at 70°C.
  • Food coloring is often added to the glaze. Cookies with them are bright, festive and cheerful in appearance. Store-bought food coloring is used, but it is better to add natural coloring products. For example, raspberry jam (red color), turmeric and a piece of butter (orange color), crushed mint (green color). Brown color will give chocolate or cocoa powder. But for this it is better to use not porous chocolate, but ordinary slab chocolate.
  • Liquid glaze is applied with a brush in several layers. For drawing, a confectionery syringe or a regular disposable medical syringe is used.

  • Plain: Mix 200 g of powdered sugar with 4 tbsp. l. hot water and put on a small fire. Cook for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Drizzle hot glaze over cookies.
  • From egg yolks: Whisk 5 yolks with 3-4 tbsp. orange juice until firm foam. Gradually enter 1.5 tbsp. powdered sugar and stir until smooth. Cover the products with glaze, dry in the oven at t 100 ° C.
  • With rum: 1 st. sift powdered sugar. Add 1 tbsp. water and 3 tbsp. Roma. Thoroughly rub and cover the dessert.

An important point in the preparation of cookies is strict adherence to the recipe. Different dough requires a specific approach. Therefore, do not change the technology of preparation and the number of ingredients.

In the preparation of cookie dough, the process of working with butter is important. If it is mixed with sugar by melting on the stove, the product will be oily. Hard and tough cookies will come from chilled butter. Delicate cookies will be if the butter is thawed in advance. To speed up this process, the butter can be cut into small slices.

It is advisable to knead the dough away from the stove. Often the dough should be pre-chilled in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. To prevent the dough from heating up, divide it into parts - while you work with one of them. When you take the dough out of the refrigerator, knead it a little with your hands, and then start rolling it out.
