Description
These are some cookies made to look like hedgehogs, a cute little animal I am hoping to adopt someday. The recipe for these Hedgehog Shortbread Cookies are:
1 cup of butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 bag melted chocolate chips
coconut or crushed walnuts or corn flakes (I used coconut in the photo)
1) In mixing bowl, cream butter & sugar. Add egg & vanilla, mix well.
2) Form cookies into an oval shape with pointed end. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet
3) Bake at 375 degrees F for about 8 minutes until set but not too brown. Cool on wire racks.
4) Dip 3/4 of each cookie in melted chocolate and sprinkle with coconut, walnuts or whatever makes it look like a hedgehog. Dot 2 eyes & a nose! Enjoy!
This recipe makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
Suggestion: Use a crock pot for melting the chocolate and keeping it soft to work with. Place a glass or ceramic bowl filled with your chocolate pieces inside a large crock pot. Pour water in the crock pot so it comes up to about half way surrounding the bowl of chocolate chips. Turn crock pot on high. Check back about 30 to 45 minutes later to see if chocolate is melted. Stir until creamy & ready for dipping.
