Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Black and blue gel food coloring
- White royal icing or edible paint pen for monogram
Instructions
- Whisk flour and baking soda in a bowl. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mix well.
- Gradually blend in flour mixture, then divide dough into thirds.留一块原色, color one third with black gel, another with blue gel, and optional留分块 to blend marbled.
- Roll each colored dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut into guitar pick shapes using a template — ~2.5 inches wide at base, tapering to a point.
- Place on parchment-lined baking sheet; bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes until edges are just set. Cool completely.
- Once cooled, pipe white icing in a simple monogram ‘EM’ or use an edible pen.
Notes
- For best color intensity, use gel food coloring instead of liquid.
- Freeze unbaked cookie dough shapes up to 2 months — bake straight from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes.
- Package in clear cello wrap with a tiny ‘By the Light of the Moon’ tag for gifting.
