Dekoracija snežakov:

Sestavine:
- fondan ali marcipan
- prehrambena barva
- čokoladne mrvice za oči in gumbe
- zobotrebci




Priprava snežakov:
Za snežaka potrebujemo dve kroglici Raffello različne velikosti. Skozi večjo kroglico zapičimo zabotrebec, nato pa nanj zapičimo drugo kroglico, ki je glava. 


http://vanillebiscuit.blogspot.com/

Za oči in gumbe uporabimo čokoladne mrvice, lahko jih naredimo tudi iz fondana ali marcipana. Korenček za nos naredimo iz fondana ali marcipana, ki smo ga pobarvali oranžno. Vrh zobotrebca (cca. 1 cm) odlomimo, polovico zabodimo v nos, drugo polovico pa na del med očmi. Šal in kapo naredimo iz fondana ali marcipana, ter ju z malo vode zalepimo na snežaka. S pomočjo črne barve narišemo usta.

Cranberry-Orange Cookies

3/4 cup salted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour

Meanwhile, place 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon orange zest in a small bowl and rub zest into sugar until thoroughly combined and fragrant.
Roll dough into large 1-inch balls. Roll in orange sugar and place on baking sheet, flattening slightly with your hand.

Pomarančni piškoti z brusnicami

Za okoli 20 piškotov.


http://vanillebiscuit.blogspot.com/
Sestavine:
1 skodelica ustreza pribl. 250 ml volumna.


3 /4 skodelice zmehčanega masla (piškoti so odlični s 190 g masla)
1 skodelica kristalnega sladkorja (jaz uporabim le polovico skodelice sladkorja)
1 jajce
2 skodelice namenske moke
1 ½ čajne žličke pecilnega praška
¼ čajne žličke sode bikarbone
1-2 žlice mleka (po potrebi)
½ skodelice posušenih brusnic
1 žlica pomarančne lupine



Mešanica, v kateri povaljamo piškote: ½ skodelice kristalnega sladkorja + 1 žlica pomarančne lupine
Pečico predhodno segrejemo na 175°C.

V prvi skledi zmešamo maslo in kristalni sladkor, dokler ne postane gladko in penasto. Dodamo jajce in dobro zmešamo.   
http://vanillebiscuit.blogspot.com/
V drugi skledi zmešamo moko, pecilni prašek in sodo bikarbono. To dodamo k prvi skledi in vse skupaj zmešamo. Po potrebi dodamo 1-2 žlici mleka (če je mešanica presuha in se ne sprijema). Vmešamo brusnice in pomarančno lupino.
http://vanillebiscuit.blogspot.com/
Pustimo stati 10 minut.

Medtem v manjši skledi zmešamo ½ skodelice sladkorja in 1 žlico pomarančne lupine, v kateri bomo povaljali piškote.



Iz testa oblikujemo kroglice (velikosti pribl. 2,50cm), jih povaljamo v sladkorju in pomarančni lupini ter jih postavimo na peki papir. Z dlanjo jih rahlo potisnemo navzdol, da dobijo ustrezno obliko.


http://vanillebiscuit.blogspot.com/
V prej ogreti pečici pečemo pribl. 10-12 minut oziroma dokler robovi ne porumenijo. Piškote ne zapečemo preveč, ker postanejo pretrdi.



Uporabila sem 190 g masla in polovico manj sladkorja. Piškoti so bili odlični. :)
