Dr. Seuss Cookie
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– Pinch of salt
– Red, blue, and yellow food coloring
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat well until fully combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
5. Divide the dough into three equal portions.
6. Add a few drops of red food coloring to one portion of the dough, mixing until the color is evenly distributed. Repeat this step with blue and yellow food coloring for the other two portions of dough.
7. Wrap each colored dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
9. Once the dough has chilled, take a small piece of each colored dough and roll them into ropes.
10. Gently twist the ropes together to create a colorful pattern. Shape the twisted dough into a circle and gently press down to flatten slightly.
11. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
13. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
14. Once cooled, serve and enjoy the cheerful and tasty Dr. Seuss Cookies with your loved ones!
