Cookies
Description
For unusual cookies, take classic shortbread dough with standard proportions: 1-2-3. For 1 part sugar, add 2 parts butter and 3 parts flour. Cookies can be stored for several days, so they can be prepared in advance before the holiday and kept in a tightly closed metal box. See detailed recipe below.

Step 5
Roll out the chocolate dough into a 5 mm thick sheet. Cut out circles for the faces, eyes, and noses (if desired, you can replace them with chocolate chips). Attach triangular ears to the faces and fold them. Use a toothpick to draw a mouth on the face circle. Another variation of face cookies can be made using a "heart" cutter. A white heart will be the face, and a chocolate one cut in half will serve as the ears.
