Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg

- Food coloring gels (yellow, brown, black, gray)
- Wolverine dog tag cookie cutters or superhero-themed cutters

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a Wolverine dog tag cookie cutter or similar to cut out the shapes.
- Place the cutouts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.
- Prepare your royal icing and divide into different bowls for coloring.
- Using food coloring gels, tint each icing to match Wolverine’s colors: yellow, brown, black, and gray.
- Outline the dog tags and add details like claws or Wolverine’s logo with fine piping tips and edible markers.
- Allow the decorated cookies to set completely before handling or packaging.
Notes
- Chill the dough properly for easier handling and better shape retention.
- Use a steady hand with edible markers for finer details like claws or logos.
- Store decorated cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
