To make a cookie, you will need not only products, but also for the printing of cookies. You can not particularly think and buy ready-madeAs in the picture below, and if you want to make a personalized gift with a special meaning, you can do it yourself.

How to print

Surely, as a child you molded articles made of salt dough, and now from this safe material can be printed for the holiday cookies.

You will need:

• 2 cups of flour;
• glass salts;
• ¾ cup of water;
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil;

All thoroughly mixed until a uniform structure, then it is possible to mold the seal. To make a conical shape, as shown below, and on a flat surface with a toothpick, a pencil or any other suitable tool, make the inscription. Just keep in mind that cookies will be an inscription of the mirror, not to get a vague scrawl.

You can make several prints: the name, different wishes, hearts. Finished stamps have to leave somewhere for a day in a warm dry place, and then bake in the oven. Half an hour at a temperature of 50ºC, followed by about 10 minutes at a temperature of 100ºC. The main thing that the oven is heated gradually, and then the printing can be cracked.

mix ingredients

For cookies, you'll need (based on 15 pieces):

• 1 pack butter;
• 1 teaspoon salt;
• ⅔ cup sugar;
• 1 teaspoon almond extract;
• pink food dye;
• 1.5-2 cups of flour;

Mix oil, salt, sugar and flour until smooth, add to the almond extract and pink dye. If you can not find almond extract, you can grind the almonds in a coffee grinder and add the resulting flour instead of extract.

When the dough is ready, you slide it into balls and flatten printing.

To print from sticking, dip before work it into the flour.

If the cookies turned out jagged edges, you can trim the excess glass test.

Put the cookies on a baking sheet and place in oven preheated to 170ºC. Bake for about 15 minutes, then remove from oven, let cool slightly and store in the refrigerator.
