Santa HULK Cookies
‘Tis the season, to SMASH! Make the holidays more festive with cookies that look just like Hulk! These cookies are made to look like the Green Goliath with matcha cookie dough, turning out a flavorful green tea sugar cookie.
Williams-Sonoma’s Marvel cookie cutters are one of my favorite kitchen items to use because they produce highly detailed cookies, letting you concentrate more on the flavor of the cookie than tedious decoration. Not to say these don’t require a little work, but the time it takes to add a fluffy marshmallow poof makes it all worth it when you see a happy holiday Hulk.
The sun’s getting real low big guy, time for cookies!
Santa HULK Cookies
Ingredients:
You’ll need:
Hulk cookie cutter from Williams-Sonoma
green tea cookie dough
mini marshmallows
snowflake sprinkles
Red cookie dough ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
red food gel dye
Instructions:
In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and the sugar. Add the egg, vanilla, and red food gel dye.
Add the flour mixture until combined. When it pulls away from the sides of the bowl, the dough is ready.
Separate the dough into two. Set one half aside and put the other back in the mixer. Add red gel food coloring and mix until combined.
Wrap up the plain dough and the red dough in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until you are ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with silpats or parchment.
Roll out the green tea cookie dough and use the Hulk cookie cutter to cut out shapes, slicing off the top of his head just above the eyes. Place the Yoda head on the prepped cookie sheet.
Roll out the red dough and freehand Santa hat shapes to fit his head. Add them to the top of the Hulk dough’s head on prepped cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes, let cool on a wire rack.
Use the white icing and a #10 tip to frost the brim of the hat, and a pom pom on the top. Add a half cut mini-marshmallow or a snowflake sprinkle for fun. When the icing is dry the cookies are ready to serve.
