Butter with sugar and vanilla sugar.
Add eggs and mix.
Add zest and juice, mix well.
Add baking powder and flour, knead the dough.
Roll out the dough.
If you want crisp cookies, it is necessary to roll out thinly.
I was rolling a thickness of about 2-3 mm.
With the help of molds or knife cut figures in the form of Christmas trees.
Slightly oiled baking sheet or lay a baking paper.
Lay out cookies.
Put in a preheated 180 degree oven.
Bake for 10-15 minutes.
Prepare glaze by prescription:
Icing.
Dip cookies in glaze.
Put on a plate or grid, allow to dry completely.
Decorate with sprinkles confectionery.
Also glaze can draw different patterns.
To do this, we must put the frosting in a plastic bag, make a small hole, and apply patterns.
