Bake the cookies with sugar glaze from Spoonsparrow. Thanks to less sugar and whole wheat flour you can snack healthily.

Ingredients

  • 60 g Butter
  • 50 g raw cane sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 100 g whole wheat flour
  • a pinch salt
  • 100 g powdered sugar made from raw cane sugar
  • various food coloring

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Beat the butter with raw cane sugar until creamy using a hand mixer. Add the egg and cinnamon, then mix in the flour and salt. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 0.5 cm thickness and cut out fir tree shapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (fan 160 °C; gas: level 2–3) for about 12–15 minutes. Remove and let cool.

  3. 3.

    Whisk powdered sugar with 1 tbsp water to make a thick glaze. Brush the fir trees with it and allow to dry.

  4. 4.

    Color the remaining glaze with food coloring and, using a toothpick, drop small colorful dots onto the white glaze.
