Linkie Football Cookie
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 large egg
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– Pinch of salt
– 1/2 cup chocolate chips
– White frosting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Roll out the cookie dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Using a football-shaped cookie cutter, cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll any excess dough and continue cutting out cookies.
5. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Once the cookies have cooled, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag or a small zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
7. Pipe the chocolate onto the cookies in a football lacing pattern. Allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes.
8. Finish off the football cookies by piping white frosting around the edges to resemble the stitching on a football.
