Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pink and purple food coloring
– Edible glitter or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Divide the dough in half, placing one half back in the bowl. Add a few drops of pink food coloring to one half of the dough and knead until the color is evenly distributed. Repeat with the purple food coloring on the other half.
7. Once the dough is tinted, roll each colored dough into 1-inch balls. For an extra touch of magic, roll the dough balls in edible glitter or sprinkles.
8. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Gently press down on each cookie with the bottom of a glass to flatten slightly.
10. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the cookies to stay soft and chewy.
11. 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.
12. Once the cookies are fully cooled, indulge in the royal treat and enjoy the magical, buttery goodness of your homemade Princess Cookies.
These Princess Cookies are perfect for bringing a touch of whimsy to any occasion, from birthday parties to cozy nights in. Share them with loved ones or savor them all to yourself – you deserve a little taste of magic in your day!
