Servings: 20
Calories: 128kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ⅖ cup (50 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (240 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg , lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons (18 g) ground hazelnuts
- ½ teaspoon (1.3 g) ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) pure vanilla extract
For decoration:
- 3 tablespoons (45 mL) milk chocolate, melted
- 20 gluten-free red sugar pearl sprinkles or cinnamon imperial candy
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 360°F.
- Beat the butter and powdered sugar using a mixer for 5-7 minutes. Add granulated sugar and sift in the gluten-free all-purpose flour. Mix for 2 minutes. Add egg, ground hazelnuts, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Knead into a ball with your hands. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Spread the dough onto a floured surface and roll out to about ⅓ inch thick. It’s best to work in batches and keep the rest of the dough in the fridge. Cut out as many cookies as will fit with a round cookie cutter.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes. Cool before decorating. Using a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate, make a deer horn-like decoration on each cookie. Then, make a drop of chocolate on each cookie where the nose should be and immediately glue a red nose from sugar pearl sprinkles or cinnamon imperial candy in its place. Set aside to firm before serving.

Dough was so dry and flaky it was impossible to knead, and then as tough as a bowling ball after being refrigerated. I followed the recipe to a T!
