Santa Spider-Man Cookies
Ingredients:
you’ll need:
Spider-Man cookie cutter
white icing
Christmas sprinkles
cookie ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons 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.
Wrap up the dough in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until you are ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with parchment or silpats.
Roll out the dough and use the cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Cut off the top part of Spidey’s head, and place the cookies on the prepped baking sheets.
Roll out more of the red dough and cut triangle shapes. Add them to the top of the Spidey dough’s, shaping into a hat form.
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 decorative Christmas sprinkles.
When the icing is dry the cookies are ready to serve.
