Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (metallic gold, black, and purple)
- Edible glitter or sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and blend well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into two portions and wrap each in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out one portion of dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Cut out crown-shaped cookies using a cookie cutter or freehand with a knife.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.
- Divide the food coloring into separate bowls and tint royal icing or fondant in metallic gold, black, and purple. Decorate the cookies to resemble royal crowns, adding edible glitter or sprinkles for a majestic sparkle. Use piping bags with fine tips for detailed designs.
Notes
- Chill the dough to prevent spreading during baking.
- Decorate cookies once fully cooled to ensure decorations set properly.
- Use fine piping tips for intricate crown details.
