Cookies
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Instead of using sugar gels and icings, I suggest using natural food colorings and a piping bag or a sturdy plastic bag with the tip cut off. For white, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice, or melt white chocolate over a water bath. Light brown can be made from melted milk chocolate, and dark brown from dark chocolate. The horse's bridle can be white. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.

Step 1
1. First, prepare the cookies. To do this, cream the sugar with the butter in a bowl. Add egg yolks and sifted flour. Knead the dough and refrigerate for half an hour. Roll out to a thickness of 0.5 cm, cut out horse shapes using cookie cutters, brush them with beaten egg, and bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees until bright yellow. Let the cookies cool slightly. Then proceed to decorating. Start with the outlines.

2. Outlines are needed to make it easier to fill the horse's head with icing of another color. For example, use powdered sugar mixed with lemon juice for the white color. Fill the muzzle with white. Use melted chocolate with cream or butter for the brown color. You can also use ready-made food coloring.

3. The glaze or paint must completely set before you apply the next layer. This will take about an hour. Then add the details—the harness and the eyes. You can use icing (for the harness) and chocolate (for the eyes) once again.
