Step 1
I'll tell you how to make "Monkeys" cookies for New Year. First, sift the flour into a bowl. Add sugar and baking powder. Mix.

Step 3
Lightly mix the flour with the butter, then divide the dough into 2 parts. Leave one as is, and add cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of water to the other. Knead two types of dough: dark and light.

Step 4
Wrap each type of dough in a separate bag. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour. The butter inside the dough will solidify again. The dough will firm up and become very similar to modeling clay, making it easier for us to shape the cookies.

Step 5
Separate a portion of the dough. From the larger piece, form a ball, then flatten it to make a small, flat pancake. Use the two smaller pieces to shape the ears. Use white dough to make the monkey's "face" and "eyes," and chocolate dough for the "nostrils," "mouth," and additional "eyes." This will create a little face like this. You can also come up with your own decorating ideas—feel free to experiment, as this will only make the cookies better! You can shape everything directly on the baking paper, so you won't have to transfer the raw cookies to a baking sheet later.

Step 6
Transfer the monkey-shaped dough pieces to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven at 210-220 degrees Celsius for about 10-12 minutes.

Serve the cooled cookies. Be careful when removing them, as the cookies are quite fragile.
