3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Cow Print Cookies

Preparing the Cookie Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
3. Divide the dough into two equal portions. To one portion, add a few drops of black food coloring and knead until evenly tinted.

Shaping the Cow Print Cookies

1. Roll out both dough portions to about ¼-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
2. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out circles from both doughs. Place all cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. For the authentic cow print effect, gently press black dough circles onto the white cookies or vice versa, creating a speckled pattern.

Baking and Decorating

1. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
2. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
3. If desired, use Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker for melting chocolate or making icing, then decorate the cookies with edible black and white markers or royal icing for added detail.
