Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional: colorful sprinkles or edible glitter for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into two balls, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Cut out shapes using cookie cutters — stars, umbrellas, or classic round cookies for a truly Disney-inspired look.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before decorating with icing, sprinkles, or glitter to add that magical touch.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easier creaming and better cookie texture.
- Chill the dough to prevent spreading during baking.
- Use colorful sprinkles or edible glitter to mimic the whimsical style of Mary Poppins.
- Cookies can be decorated with royal icing or icing to create detailed designs.
