Shortbread almond cookies “Sheep. Cookies "Lamb"

The idea of ​​molding almond shortbread cookies in the form of cute funny lambs from dough balls is the embodiment of my imagination :))) children! And you can also use sheep cookies as souvenirs for the upcoming holidays! I'm sure every child would like to receive such a lamb for New Year! Make delicious gifts for your relatives and friends, I'm sure they will be very pleased, and this will also make you happy :)))

Let's get started! Prepare the butter powdered sugar, flour, egg, almond flour with peel, cocoa powder.

Soft butter room temperature combine with powdered sugar.

Mix the butter with the powder with a fork and break into the resulting mass egg, mix until the mass is smooth.

Pour regular and almond flour into a mixture of butter, powder and eggs. If you are cooking almond flour on your own, you need to warm the nuts in the oven, and then grind them in a blender or coffee grinder.

Knead the dough with a fork, quickly gather it into a ball with your hand, divide into two parts, 2/3 and 1/3. Stir in the cocoa powder to the smaller portion. Both light and dark dough Wrap individually in cling film or bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Then take out the dough and start shaping the sheep. In order to make it more clear to you how to sculpt them, pay attention to the photo: make balls from a light dough (we directly pinch off a little dough with our fingers from the general lump and roll the balls with our palms) and decorate the body of the sheep with them. And from the cocoa dough, blind the head, ears and legs, make eyes and grooves on the ears and hooves with a toothpick. There will be 5 sheep in total, which in ready-made they will take the size of a palm - one such sheep per person is enough :)

Bake cookies in the oven for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. The light balls will blur a little, converge into one fur coat, the sheep will become more fluffy and plump. Sprinkle them (the light part) with powder when the cookies have cooled.

That's all - cute sheep are ready to give you a holiday and make the New Year unforgettable! ;)

Enjoy your meal!!!

Lamb cookies - recipe.

Make the dough: take butter at room temperature. Separate the yolk from the protein. Beat butter and sugar in a mixer, add milk, yolk, salt. When all the ingredients are well mixed, pour the soda on the tip of the knife and wheat flour. We put the finished dough in the refrigerator and turn on the oven to warm up to 180 degrees Celsius.

We print out a sketch on thick paper. Cut out paper rams.

Sprinkle the board with flour, roll out shortbread dough thin (5 millimeters). We apply paper lambs, cut out cookies with a knife.

Carefully transfer the lambs to a dry baking sheet. We bake cookies for 8 minutes. As soon as they become golden color, take out of the oven and cool.

Prepare white glaze: sift the powdered sugar through a fine sieve, mix with protein in a porcelain bowl. Pour the powder in parts. We shift part of the glaze into a cornet with a nozzle. We paint over all the cookies as shown in the photo. Dry for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Prepare gray glaze: separate 2 tablespoons of white glaze, add black food coloring to it, rub well with a spoon.

We fill the cornet with gray glaze. We draw a head with ears and hooves for all the lambs. Each subsequent layer of glaze, regardless of color, can only be applied after the previous layer has completely dried.

With white icing, using a thin nozzle for cream, we apply large drops - these are wool and lambs' eyes.

That's the time to pay attention to the Lamb or Sheep cookies - call it whatever you like 😉

These delicious treats will attract the attention of both children and adults! Yes, and the process of sculpting will bring a lot of fun! 😀 It turns out to be just as exciting as in the case of making cookies in the form of,.

Why can these cookies be classified as Easter? You probably already guessed it yourself, because the Old Testament Paschal lamb acted as a prototype of Jesus Christ. However, such a treat can be baked not only on Easter and all holidays before Ascension, but also on any other days. Especially if you are doing this for children or with them! After all, the process of molding cookies is very interesting, and the result is pleasing to the eye! Well taste buds of course 😀

Cookie dough is soft. The end result is fluffy and delicious! But if desired, it can be replaced with any other shortbread dough, for example, sour cream. You can also experiment with spices - add vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves. Here you should already navigate to your liking. Instead of potato starch and soda can be taken 1-1.5 tsp. baking powder.

That, perhaps, is all. And I’ll tell you directly about the molding already during the recipe and, as always, with visual photos 😉

For cookies you will need the following products:

• eggs - 1 piece
• butter - 100 g
• sugar or powdered sugar - 4 tbsp.
• salt - a pinch
• premium wheat flour - 200 g (about 1.5 tablespoons) *
• soda - 0.5 tsp
• starch - 1 tsp
• cocoa - 1 tbsp

* 1 cup = 200 ml liquid = 125 g flour

Dough kneading and shaping:

Combine the flour with soda and starch, mix thoroughly.

Sift the resulting mixture through a sieve. I added powdered sugar (you can make it yourself from sugar, as in the recipe) and salt.

Thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients again. I broke an egg to them and laid out softened (!) Butter.

kneaded soft dough(if necessary, adjust the amount of flour, as gluten may vary).

I cut off 1/4 of the dough.

I combined it with cocoa and kneaded the chocolate dough.

The light dough was divided into 4 parts - according to the number of lambs.

Divide each part by 10 equal parts. I rolled them into neat balls.

I immediately laid them out on a baking sheet, greased with sunflower oil. I arranged the balls, as in the photo: in the first row - 3, in the second - 4, in the third again 3. I placed them at some distance from each other - not back to back, as they will increase slightly in volume, but not very far, otherwise the body of a lamb "does not stick together."

The chocolate dough was again divided by the number of lambs into 4 parts.

Each part, in turn, was cut into 3 parts - in half, and then one half into two more equal parts.

Two equal parts are the future lamb legs. I formed them like this - I rolled them into a ball, slightly stretched them into an oval and made an incision from the center down.
From the remaining part (the one that was large) I plucked off a piece for the ear, shaping it according to the same principle as the hooves, only making a notch along the entire length, without cutting through to the end in depth.
And from the remaining dough she blinded an oval - a head. I made an incision on the left closer to the bottom, thus shaping the mouth.

I attached the missing elements to the balls of light dough - the head from the left edge, in height between the 1st and 2nd row of balls. She attached the ear to the head, putting a little on the body. She put the hooves from below between the balls of the bottom row.

So I designed all 4 lamb.

I sent them to a preheated oven and baked at 180-200 degrees for 15-20 minutes, no more, until a slight blush!

That's all - holiday lambs ready! ;)

They turn out not only cute in appearance, but also tasty, crumbly!

The previous time, I doubled the amount of ingredients and baked 8 lambs, and then gave them to friends)) Delicious! ;)
