Brown sugar

200 g
Butter

180 g
Chicken egg

1 piece
Cinnamon

1 tsp
Leavening agent

1 tsp
Salt

2 g
Sugar

2 tsp
Cinnamon

0.5 tsp
Egg white

Pumpkin seeds

1 handful

Cooking

Sift in bowl the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

The softened butter beat with brown sugar until fluffy.

Add one egg and vigorously stir.

Then, enter the mixture of dry ingredients and knead the dough. It turns out soft enough...

Divide the dough into two equal parts (weighing 360 g!) and form a two block length of 25 cm, Wrap them in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.

After this time remove the dough from the refrigerator. Cut him small pieces of dough. Further work simply and quickly! Cut off a piece to roll into a ball, put on a work surface (I have a silicone Mat) and rolling on the table with your palm to form a strip with a length of 15 cm (I assure you that after the first 2-3 things cookies you will easily do everything just "by eye"!)

Now, from one end roll the strip of dough about 1/3 to the center...

Then wrap the other end of the strips in the opposite direction. It should look like the photo! To prepare so the rest of the cookies (first batch).

Put these are still just "pretzels" of dough on a baking sheet, covered with baking paper, at a small distance from each other, because during baking the cookies will rise.

Lightly whisk one egg white and brush over the figures. Mix sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle this mixture cookies.

Now just to decorate it, stick the eye in the form of chocolate drops (recipe still was proposed to use instead of chocolate chips, dried berries, optional) and insert a pumpkin seed (not cleared) in the form of the beak, wide end seeds out. So simple, quick and pretty!

Bake in a preheated 190 degree oven for 7-10 minutes until lightly Golden, watch out for your oven! Not puredevice... Meanwhile, prepare the next batch of cookies. I got exactly 35 "ducklings."

Ready cookies cool on rack and put in the appropriate box. Enjoy your tea! ))
