3. Step-by-Step Instructions: How to Make Alice in Wonderland’s Eat Me Cookies

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients until a smooth dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 2: Roll and Cut Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter shaped like a bottle or simply round cutters to create cookies reminiscent of the iconic Eat Me label. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mats like the Presto Pizzazz Plus.

Step 3: Bake and Cool

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 4: Decorate the Cookies

Use royal icing tinted with pastel food colors to decorate your Eat Me cookies. Add edible glitter for a touch of magic. For detailed designs, consider piping with different icing tips.
