Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Purple, blue, and black food coloring gel
- Edible silver or gold star sprinkles
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into three equal parts. Tint one part with purple food coloring, one part with blue food coloring, and leave the third part uncolored.
- Take a small piece from each colored dough and gently press them together to form a ball with swirls of color. Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Gently flatten the dough balls with the bottom of a glass and sprinkle with edible silver or gold star sprinkles.
- Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are just beginning to brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your galaxy sugar cookies!
