No cookie recipe, but something else!
Actually I'm more the bread baking person and I'm way better with cakes. But here I give you one of my favourite recipes.
Also known as "Weckmänner". In the area I grew up you bake them around November for the kids. I love these and gift them to friends and my family. Quite often they have pipes made from clay, that are baked with the dough. Find some pictures here.
I am cooking and baking vegan, to reduce my climate footprint, that's why I added some suggestions on that, too.
| 300g | wheat flour (405) |
| 75g | white sugar |
| 1 package | vanilla sugar (in germany you buy it in packages with that specific amount in it. It's 8 gramm.) |
| 1 package | baking powder (german packages again, it's 15g.) |
| Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. | |
| 6 spoons | milk (oat milk is possible too) |
| 6 spoons | oil (e.g. sunflower) |
| 150 g | curd (there are vegan options, joghurt is also working) |
| Add all the wet ingredients and mix them. You should get a nice dough. Then you shape bodies. Make them about 20cm high. They can lift an arm to wave or whatever you like. |
|
| a handful | raisins |
| The raisins are used as eyes, but they are not necessary. | |
| Bake for about 20 min at 170°C with air circulation on. Check them sometimes. |
