How to Make Sheepy Cookies Or Sugar Cookie Dough To Shape As You Wish
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened Land O'Lakes butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon almond extract.
- Gradually add 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt, mixing until just combined.
- Remove ⅓ cup of dough and stir in 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder until a deep brown color is achieved.
- Refrigerate both the plain and chocolate dough for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out the white dough to your desired thickness (¼ inch recommended). Use cookie cutters or shape by hand.
- For the sheep (optional):
- Roll small balls of white dough (⅛ - ½ inch diameter) for the sheep's bodies. Place them on prepared baking sheets.
- Arrange the white dough balls in oval shapes (approximately 2 ½ inches by 1 ½ inches) to resemble fluffy sheep.
- Roll small balls of chocolate dough into teardrop shapes for legs and attach to the bodies.
- Roll ½ inch chocolate ovals for the heads and attach to the bodies.
- Add small balls of white dough for eyes.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on cookie thickness.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
