Freshman Roxanne Shelton made “Eat Me Cookies” from Alice in Wonderland for the April 1 Foodie for Friends meeting. Try out this sugary cookie recipe!

Ingredients:

2 and 1/4 cups (281g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled), plus more as needed for rolling and work surface

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

3/4 cup (1

50g) granulated sugar

1 large egg at room temperature

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional, but makes the flavor outstanding)*

For Decorating:

Royal Icing or Easy Glaze Icing 

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. 
2. Use a mixer to mix the butter and sugar until it has a smooth and creamy texture. 
3. Once mixed, add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture for a minute. Scrape the sides once mixed. 
4. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix unit a dough is formed. 
5. Once the mixture is a dough, spread flour onto a silicone mat and roll the dough out over. It should be ¼ inch thick. 
6. Then put it in the fridge for 2 hours. 
7. Once chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the dough into fun shapes and bake for 11-12 minutes. 
8. After the cookies cool down, use royal icing and pipe the fun designs on the Alice in Wonderland cookies, pictured below, and the saying “eat me.”
