Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (metallic preferred)
- Icing and edible markers for decorating
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another large bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients gradually into wet until dough forms. Wrap and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out dough to ¼ inch thickness on a floured surface. Use robot-shaped cutters or a combination of shapes to cut out cookies. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Let cookies cool completely. Decorate with metallic food coloring, icing, and edible markers to add details like robot arms, facial features, and metallic effects. Enhance high-tech look with edible glitter or luster dust.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate and rewarm before serving.
- Use edible metallic luster dust for a realistic chrome finish. Experiment with different metallic colors for added flair.
- Decorate with royal icing for precise detailing or fondant for a smoother finish.
