Delightful cookies with a black and white plaid design, perfect for Halloween celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup black icing
  • 1 cup white icing
  • Assorted sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Mix the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Incorporate the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Chill the dough by covering it and placing it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Shape the dough by rolling it out on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick. Cut out spooky shapes with cookie cutters.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Decorate with black and white icing and add sprinkles for extra flair.

Notes

Use quality unsalted butter for a rich flavor. For an egg substitute, consider using a flaxseed egg or applesauce.
