Syringe-pressed cookies are a classic New Year's and Christmas treat, especially popular in European countries. Bake them by adding cocoa powder and a pinch of cloves to the dough, which adds a rich chocolate flavor. Other ingredients include butter, wheat flour, sugar, and eggs—all essentials found in almost every kitchen. And if you have a special press, you should definitely add these cookies to your holiday treat list. Before baking, sprinkle the shaped cookies with colorful decorative sugar; they'll look especially vibrant against the dark chocolate surface.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and cloves. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Reduce mixer speed to low; stir in the flour mixture and knead the dough.
- Fill a cookie press with dough according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place cookies on two baking sheets, spacing them approximately 2.5 cm apart. Sprinkle with decorative sugar.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are set, 15-20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes, then loosen them from the baking sheets with a thin spatula and let cool completely.
