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