Rudolph Chocolate Shortbread Cookies
Report
Rudolph Chocolate Shortbread Cookies, a fantastic family-friendly Christmas treat. The chocolate shortbread cookies are rich and intensely chocolatey, with a good snap, and they stay crunchy for days. Using a reindeer cookie cutter makes them look so festive and full of Christmas cheer. So easy to make and so delicious!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit, 160 fan oven).
- In a large mixing bowl, add the soft butter, sift in the icing sugar, and use a hand mixer to beat them together until creamy.
- Add the egg yolk and beat again.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, add the vanilla extract and use your hands to knead everything into a dough.
- Dust some flour onto the work surface, and roll the dough thinly.
- Use a reindeer-shaped cookie cutter to cu out cookies.
- Arrange them onto 2 or 3 baking trays, and bake them into the preheated oven, working in batches, for 10 minutes.
- Remove them from the oven and leave them to cool down completely.
- Stick the red sprinkles onto the reindeers' noses using melted chocolate, buttercream or honey.
Notes
- Adding cocoa powder to the dough makes it a lot denser than a regular shortbread cookie dough, I find that there is no need to chill the dough before rolling it and baking the cookies.
- The dough will be quite crumbly, and you can add a splash of cold water as you would do for a shortcrust pastry if the dough is not coming together well. Every brand of flour is different, some flour would be denser than others.
