📝 Preparation Steps
1
Making the Cookies
2
Preheat oven to 350°F.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
baking powder1 teaspoon
4
In a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about ⏱️ 2 minutes on medium speed).Stir in the peanut butter followed by the egg and vanilla extract. Mix well.
large egg (room temperature)1vanilla extract2 teaspoons
5
Slowly mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until the dough comes together and no dry streaks remain.Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
6
Form 1 inch dough balls and roll them in sugar. Place them on the baking tray 1-2 inches apart and bake for ⏱️ 8-9 minutes.When they're hot out of the oven, carefully place a small cup over one cookie at a time and move it around in a circle to bring the cookie edges in and give it more height. (This is called "cookie scooting", see an example here.)
7
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
8
Assembling the Gnomes
9
Using the frosting as glue, place a dab on the bottom of a Hershey's Kiss and then attach it to the top of a cookie for the gnome's hat.
10
With the star tip, pipe frosting around the bottom of the hat and then place a dab on the tip of the hat, so it looks like a Santa hat!
11
Pipe a wave of frosting from the bottom of the hat to the bottom of the cookie for the gnome's beard.
12
Place a round sprinkle on top of the beard, right below the hat for the nose. Then using frosting as glue, secure two small sprinkles on the bottom of cookie on each side of the beard for feet.
