Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Black fondant or black gel icing (for sunglasses)
- White and gray fondant (for lens details)
- Food coloring (optional for custom touches)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters or freehand cut cookie shapes resembling sunglasses or airplanes. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
- Decorate by melting fondant or using black gel icing to create sunglasses shapes. Use white and gray fondant or edible details for lens highlights. Add sprinkles, edible glitter, or metallic accents for extra flair.
Notes
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for easier rolling and shaping.
- Use a sharp knife or detailed cookie cutters for precise shapes.
- Decorate with edible metallic or glitter accents for Hollywood glamour.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
- Make ahead and decorate just before serving for the best presentation.
