Instructions:

For the owl cookies, first beat THEA, sugar and vanilla sugar with a mixer until smooth. Beat in egg.

Mix flour, 1 pinch of salt and 1 tsp gingerbread spice if desired, add and mix briefly with the mixer until coarse. Knead dough with floured hands and shape into a ball.

Roll out dough in portions on a floured work surface until 4-5 mm thin, making sure that the rolling pin is also always lightly floured. Cut out circles with a glass or cookie cutter (Ø approx. 7-9 cm).

Use the same glass or cookie cutter to mark the wings on the right and left side of the dough circles. Use a fork to press in the feet. Form small balls of dough and put 2 on each as eyes. Press in chocolate drops as pupils. Place an almond as a beak and press down lightly.

Place the cookies on baking trays lined with baking paper and bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees (convection oven 160 degrees) for 10-12 minutes until they are lightly browned. Remove the baking paper from the tray and let the owl cookies cool on a cooling rack.
