Serving Size: 12

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups (cups) unsalted butter
• 0.25 Cups (cups) white sugar
• 0.5 Cups (cups) rye flour
• 1 Cups (cups) all-purpose flour
• 0.125 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) water

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer or by hand with a whisk.
3. Gradually add the rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the creamed mixture. Stir until well combined. Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is moist and holds together.
4. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to your desired thickness. For crispier cookies, roll the dough thinner.
5. Use a 2 1/2-inch round cutter or a floured glass to cut out the cookies. To create a decorative touch, use a thimble to cut a small hole off-center in each cookie.
6. Place the cookies on ungreased baking sheets, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly browned. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-baking.
8. Once baked, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. If desired, thread a ribbon or yarn through the holes and hang the cookies on your Christmas tree for a festive touch.
