Festive Cookie

Beat the butter with a wooden spoon

Gradually add the sugar, beating well

Add half of the flour and mix well

Add the remaining flour and knead on a floured surface

Roll out the dough thinly with a rolling pin floured with all-purpose flour, and cut into circles about 8 cm in diameter

Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Make two large marks with the cookie cutter

Use small currants for the eyes and nose

With a knife, make two triangles for the arms

Bake in a preheated moderate oven (180°C) for 20 minutes (they should not brown too much)

Let cool

To shape the festive cookies, use a heated knife to cut a slit on the surface of the chocolate chips

Place the cookies into this slit, holding them firmly until they are secure

Make about 30 cookies.
