HEDGEHOG COOKIES

Christmas is coming up, and I wanted to share a cookie recipe… because is it really Christmas without cookies? (Last year I made Swedish pearl snowball cookies and milk chocolate lacey cookies!)

This hedgehog cookie, as you can see, is totally adorable. I mean, look at this little guy, SO CUTE! Hedgehogs are already a super cute animal, so of course it would make a cute cookie!

Most hedgehog cookies I’ve seen online involve shaping the cookie, baking it, dipping it in chocolate and then dipping it in nuts or sprinkles. Those are cute too, don’t get me wrong, but I think the coconut really makes the difference here. It’s just so… quilly.

Ingredients

• Cookie
• 150 g all purpose flour
• 40 g granulated sugar
• 30 g almond meal/flour
• 60 g unsalted butter melted
• 2 Tbsp milk
• Coconut coating
• 80 g unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 large egg white
• 50 g granulated sugar
• 2 tsp cocoa powder
• Face decoration
• black sesame seeds
• sugar water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 265 degrees F.
2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and almond flour. Add the melted butter and the milk, and stir with a spatula to combine. Use your hands to fully combine, and then squeeze it together into one solid ball. Place the ball on a sheet of plastic wrap, wrap it up, and shape into a log. Squeeze it tight while you shape it, so the dough sticks together and doesn't crumble.
