You will need a moose-shaped cookie cutter. Change name as needed. The yield will depend on the size of the cookie cutters. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 large egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup semisweet chocolate morsel, melted |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
sugar |
1 (15 ounce) can chocolate frosting |
chocolate sprinkles (optional) |
sparkling white sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add 1 cup sugar, beating well. Add egg and vanilla, mixing well. Stir in melted morsels.
2. Combine flour and salt; add to butter mixture, beating well. Shape dough into a flat disc. Cut dough into thirds. Wrap in wax paper. Cover and chill briefly until dough is a good rolling consistency.
3. Place each portion of dough on a large lightly greased cookie sheet. Cover with wax paper or plastic wrap. Roll dough to 1/4 thickness on cookie sheets.
4. Cut out cookies, using desired cookie cutters. (We tested with 3 and 6 moose cutters.) Sprinkle with sugar. Peel away excess dough.
5. Bake at 350° for 10 to 11 minutes for small cookies and 12 minutes for larger cookies.
6. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheets; remove to wire racks, and cool completely.
7. Place opened can of frosting in microwave. Microwave at MEDIUM (50% power) 45 seconds; stir. Microwave 30 more seconds.
8. Spread frosting over cookie antlers and feet, if desired. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles and sparkling sugar, if desired. Let harden on wire racks.
