Shrek cookie cutter

This is a shrek cookie cutter for sand cookies or shortbread cookies.

Before trying i recomend it to apply a resin layer to close all the gaps and imperfections, this way you reduce the chance of getting bacteria stuck and it is easier to clean afterwards.

Here is a basic recipe to try it:

• 150g butter (room temperature)
• 50g vanilla sugger
• 100g granulated sugar
• 1 vanilla pod or a little bit of vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• a pinch of salt
• 300g of flower

1. Mix the soft butter with the vanilla sugar and the sugar in a food processor.
2. Cut the vanilla pod open lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds and add them to the butter. (or use vanilla extract
3. Add the egg and a pinch of salt.
4. Add the flour to the dough spoon by spoon in the food processor.
5. Make a ball of the dough. Wrap it in cling film and let it set in the fridge.
6. Preheat the oven to 175 °C.
7. Roll out the dough on the work surface to about 8mm thickness. Cut out cookies with a cookie cutter.
8. Line a baking tray with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Put the cookies on it.
9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
10. Let them cool on a wire rack/cooling rack.
