HEDGEHOG COOKIES
Steps:
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk sugar, shortening, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Stir sugar mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Refrigerate dough until chilled, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Scoop cookie dough using a cookie scoop or 1 tablespoon so all the cookies are uniform; shape dough into teardrop-shaped cookies. Flatten the pointed side of each cookie to form the 'face'. Arrange cookies on baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Pulse pecans in a food processor until finely chopped; transfer to a bowl.
- Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
- Dip the top of each cookie in the melted chocolate, spreading to fully coat the 'body' of each hedgehog. Press cookies, chocolate-side down, into the ground pecans forming the 'fur'. Arrange cookies on a sheet of waxed paper to set, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer the remaining melted chocolate to a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner snipped. Pipe chocolate onto the pointed end of each cookie for eyes and a nose.

EASY VANILLA MARZIPAN
It's worth having a go at making your own marzipan to cover your Christmas cake - and you can experiment with adding different flavours

Steps:
- Mix the sugars and almonds in a large bowl, then rub in the vanilla seeds until even. Make a well in the middle, then tip in the eggs and citrus juice. Cut the wet ingredients into the dry with a cutlery knife. Dust the surface with icing sugar, then knead the marzipan briefly with your hands to a smooth dough. Don't overdo it as the paste can get greasy. Add a bit more icing sugar if it seems too wet. Shape into a ball, then wrap and keep in a cool place until ready to cover the cake. Can be made up to 2 days in advance.
- Lift the cake onto a cake board or plate, then use a pastry brush to cover evenly with a thin layer of jam. Dust the work surface with more icing sugar, then roll the marzipan into a circle about 40cm across, dusting underneath the marzipan with more icing sugar and turning it a quarter turn after every few pushes of the rolling pin.
- Flip the top of the circle back over your rolling pin so you can see the underside of the marzipan, then lift the pin up and lift the marzipan over the cake. Stop once you can see that the edge of the marzipan nearest you is about level with the bottom of the cake. Flop the front of the marzipan down. Smooth the paste over the cake using the palms of your hands, then trim with a sharp knife. If any cracks appear, simply pinch the paste back together and smooth. Leave to dry for at least 24 hrs, or up to 3 days, before covering with icing.
- How long does homemade marzipan keep? Although homemade marzipan contains raw eggs, the amount of sugar, and lack of moisture, prevents bacteria growing when left at room temperature, so your cake should last for 1-2 months iced. The most important thing is that you don't scrimp on drying time - once you've covered your cake in marzipan it should be left to completely dry out, before you then cover it with icing. If you want to make marzipan before you are ready to cover your cake, then wrap it well in cling film and keep in a fridge for up to a week - as wrapped in a ball it will still contain a little moisture. As it contains raw eggs it shouldn't be given to anyone in an at-risk group, including pregnant women, the elderly, the unwell and the very young. You can make a cooked marzipan, which carries no risks. It is a little softer, and harder to work with, but a good substitute if you are at all worried.

- In a small mixing bowl, combine yeast, warm water, and some of the sugar and lightly stir. Let sit for approx. 5 min., until it becomes foamy on top. In another small mixing bowl, whisk together some of the eggs and oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of stand mixer with dough hook attachment, mix together flour, salt, and sugar. When the yeast is foamy, add it to the dry mixture, followed by egg mixture, and stir to combine. Transfer dough to a floured work surface and knead for approx. 5 – 10 min., adding more flour if necessary, until dough is smooth and elastic (it will still be slightly sticky). Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it sit at room temperature until it doubled in size, approx. 2 hrs.
- Meanwhile, make the marzipan filling. Separate remaining egg, and set aside the yolk for later. In a large mixing bowl, mix together butter and sugar with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until combined. Mix in salt and egg white, add almond extract, then stir in the almond flour until smooth and combined.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, if needed, and preheat the oven to 375ºF/190ºC. When the dough has risen, transfer to a lightly dusted work surface and divide into small balls. Flatten each ball slightly, and fill with a heaping tablespoon of marzipan filling. Seal well, then place the balls seam side-down on the baking sheets, spaced evenly apart. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise for approx. 30 more min.
