Mix the flour with baking powder, Sugar, Salt and Vanilla Sugar first and then add the wet ingredients the Egg, soft Butter, Lemon Essence and Vodka.
Mix the whole content and then work out for a few minutes to a smooth dough.
Form into a big sausage and wrap into plastic and let the dough cool for 1 hour in the fridge.
Just before you roll out your dough, preheat your oven to 180 Celsius.
Take out form the fridge and roll your dough 4 millimeter thick out. Cut out with a cookie cutter while using extra flour at the side so that the dough shapes don't stick.
Place on a baking tray and bake for about 10 minutes.
While the cookies cool prepare the icing by mixing the powdered sugar with the food coloring and Vodka.
Place the icing into a piping bag and decorate your cookies with the icing and then push the colored sugar balls into the icing.
Let the icing get hard and store in a airtight container if you live in the tropics and in a cold climate store in a metal box (+Apple skin to keep the apples soft).
