Poinsettia Chrismas Cookies

:xmasparty: The Recipe :xmasparty:

3 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR

1/2 TEASPOON SALT

1 CUP (STICKS) UNSALTED BUTTER, AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

2 CUPS CONFECTIONERS SUGAR

2 LG. EGGS

1 1/2 TEASPOONS OF VANILLA EXTRACT

1 CUP SWEETENED SHREDDED COCONUT

GRANULATED SUGAR FOR DIPPING

1 1/4 CUPS BUTTERSCOTCH CHIPS

1/2 CUP CANDIED RED CHERRIES, CUT IN HALF AND EACH HALF CUT INTO 4 WEDGES



:woody: Red candied cherries work best, but if you cannot find them, you can substitute red maraschino cherries. Be sure to drain them well.





:xmastree: HOW TO MAKE THEM :xmastree:

1) In a med. bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Set aside.

2) In a lg. bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together the butter and the confectioners sugar on medium speed until light, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, and then beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Stir in the coconut and 3/4 cup of the butterscotch chips until a medium-soft dough forms.

3) Gather the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

4) Preheat the oven to 375*F. Have ready ungreased nonstick cookie sheets.

5) Pinch off pieces of the dough and roll between your palms into 1-inch balls. Place on the cookie sheets, spacing them 1 1/2 inches apart. Lightly flatten the balls with the bottom of a drinking glass dipped in the granulated sugar. Press a butterscotch chip in the center of each cookie. Arrange 5 cherry wedges in a circle around the butterscotch chip, radiating from the center like petals.

6) Bake in the center of the oven until the tops are set to the touch and the bottoms are golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire racks to cool completely.



:xmasparty: Enjoy your Poinsettia Christmas cookies :xmasparty:

Santa Hat Brownies



Ingredients:
1 pan of your favorite brownies, cooled and cut into desired size and shape (I used a round cutter)
12-16 small strawberries, cleaned and hulled
vanilla-mascarpone buttercream (recipe below)

Vanilla-Mascarpone Buttercream
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces mascarpone cheese, room temperature
2-1/2 to 3 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Method:
Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat butter and mascarpone cheese until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla extract and salt. Add 2-1/2 cups of sugar, half a cup at a time and continue beating until smooth. Add more sugar, if needed to reach desired consistency and sweetness.

To assemble, pipe a ring of vanilla buttercream on top of each brownie. Cut off the base of a strawberry so it is flat and place it upside down on each brownie, pushing slightly to secure in place. Top the tip of the strawberry with a dot of buttercream to finish the santa hat.

Very simple, yet very tasty and looks amazing ;)

My Family Christmas Cookies

Since Egnlish is not my native language would like you to excuse me if there is some missunderstanding of some words. I accept remarks in order to make it all clear for you. :rose:

Ingredients:

1/2 kg flour;
1/2 tea cup melted butter;
3/4 tc. sugar;
2 eggs;
6 tbs. fresh milk;
1 baking powder;
1 ts. cinnamon;
2-3 smashed cloves;

For the decoration:

1 white chocolate;
1 black chocolate;
honey;
colorfull sugar sticks;

Mixing:

Put the flour on the table or over big plate good for mixing. Make it look like a vulcano and on the top in the hole add the melted butter, the sugar, the 2 eggs mixed before that with the 6 tbs. fresh milk and the baking powder, the sinnamon and the smashed cloves. Make sure you have no rings and bracelets and start mixing untill you make the dough hard and not sticky. If needed add little more flour.
Since you have it done take a piece with size of a tenis ball. Throw one handfull of flour under so it dont stick. Roll it out untill its all good spread on same thickness of 2 to 3 mm. Use forms to cut off in shape of christmas trees, santa hats, candy canes, stars, moons, etc. If you don't have any you can draw on a cardboard the desired shape and cut them off, apply over and cut with a knife. Whatever is left after cutting add to the big ball, mix little and take new "tenis" ball untill you finnish it all.
Put them in a pan, on which you already put butter all over. Bake in medium heat oven (220-300C) untill golden color. Just right after you take them from the oven while they are hot smear with brush the honey on the upper side.

Decorating:

In order to decorate the cookies you need to melt the both chocolates in separate pots. Melting is better to be done on steam or water (pot inside bigger pot with water or pot over a steamer, which takes longer).
Put the cookies on cooking paper or kitchen paper. You need them to be cold. And the honey to be already absorbed.
After melting the 1 chocolate add it in bag and push it to go in the one corner. Cut off very small part of the corner and with squeezing gently decorate the cookies by own desire. You can keep some only 1 color and some with the both chocolates. Make garlangs on the trees, draw the shape of the hat and the lines of the candy canes, make the star winking and the moons smiling. Then, while the chocolate is still hot you can add over, or in the corners the colorfull sugar sticks. Wait the chocolate to come cold and dry and then you can move them :embarressed:

Enjoy! :gift:
