Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Gold and red food coloring (gel-based for best results)
- Edible gold dust or spray (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a smooth dough forms.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface and use a Dundie Award-shaped cookie cutter to create your cookies.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Once cooled, decorate with gold and red icing or edible gold dust.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant, long-lasting colors.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling to prevent sticking.
- For extra shine, lightly spray the cookies with edible gold spray after baking.
