A guide to create your own Red Hat cookie
First, you'll need a cookie cutter. Just download the 3D print template here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4682723 and print it with your 3D printer or let it print by one of the many 3D print services on the internet.
This dough will be enough for ~100 cookies:
- 500gr flour
- 250gr butter
- 150gr sugar
- 1/2 spoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pckg vanilla sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 drops butter-vanilla-flavour
Simply mix all ingredients together and put the dough into the fridge for an hour. Then roll it out (don't use the whole dough at once, 1/4 at a time is better) and use the cookie cutter to cut out the hats.
Now preheat the oven to 170°C and lay the hat cookies on a baking tray for 15-20 minutes.
Now that the cookies are ready, they will need some coloring - red for the hat and white for the hatband, e.g.
Prepare sugar icing by adding 2 spoons of water and some red food color to ~100gr powdered sugar and stir it thouroughly. Use a brush to paint the hat cookies red.
After the red sugar icing has dryed, same procedure with half or a third the amount of powdered sugar and water without food color for the white hatband; use an injection or pipette to get a fine line onto the hat.
Enjoy!
