Ingredients
Directions
- In a big bowl combine butter pieces, flour, vanilla sugar, sugar and egg. Knead into a smooth dough. Wrap dough into cling film and refrigerated for 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough quite thinly (about 3 mm thick).
- Cut out elks or other shapes using a lightly floured cookie cutter and place on a paper-lined baking sheet. If you like attach a currant to each elk for eyes.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven at 190°C/375°F for 8-12 minutes or until just slightly browned around the edges.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the cookie sheets and then transfer to a wire-rack to cool completely.
- Now you can add any decorations you might like to add. I used some eggnog flavoured icing dipping the cookies into it and attaching a chocolate chip as an eye afterwards.
- Let dry.
