Super Mario Power Star Cookies
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
yellow sanding sugar
black icing
white icing
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 sugar.
Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture then slowly add the flour mixture until combined.
Mix on medium high until the dough pulls away from the bowl.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge.
When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prep baking sheets with silpats or parchment.
Roll out the dough to 3/8” thick. Spread the yellow sanding sugar all over the rolled out dough and use the Star cookie cutter to cut out the shapes, then move the cookies to the prepped baking sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
Using a #4 tip, pipe black icing for the eyes. Add a small white pupil with white icing and a #2 tip. Once the icing is dry the cookies are ready to serve.
