Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 100 grams unsalted butter, softened
  • 50 grams icing sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 200 grams all purpose flour
  • food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Cream together the butter and sugar
  • Add in the egg yolk and mix until combined
  • Mix in the flour until a dough forms
  • Dye the dough into desired colors
  • Shape the dough. (tip: keep unused dough covered to prevent it from drying up)
  • Refrigerate cookies for 20 minutes
  • Bake at 305F/150C for 25 minutes
  • Cool then decorate with royal icing/melted chocolate (* note)

Notes

note: I chose to use royal icing to draw on the faces after since I find that easier but you can use the cookie dough to create the faces as well.
