**S Halloween**

**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 large egg
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– Orange and black food coloring gel
– Assorted Halloween-themed sprinkles and decorations

**Instructions:**

1. **Preheat oven:**
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. **Cream butter and sugar:**
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a handheld mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.

3. **Add vanilla and egg:**
Mix in the vanilla extract and the egg until well combined.

4. **Combine dry ingredients:**
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until the dough comes together.

5. **Divide and color the dough:**
Divide the dough into two portions. Add orange food coloring gel to one portion and black food coloring gel to the other portion. Knead the dough until the color is evenly distributed.

6. **Shape the cookies:**
Roll out each colored dough portion to about 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to cut out shapes from each color of dough.

7. **Assemble the cookies:**
Gently press together one orange cutout and one black cutout, then carefully place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.

8. **Decorate the cookies:**
Before baking, decorate the cookies with assorted Halloween-themed sprinkles and decorations to add a fun and festive touch.

9. **Bake:**
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Make sure to rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even color.

10. **Cool and enjoy:**
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. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these sweet and playful Halloween treats with friends and family!
