Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Green food coloring
- Green sprinkles or colored sugar optional
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating well until fully combined
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms
Divide the dough into two equal portions
Add green food coloring to one portion of the dough, kneading it until the desired green color is achieved
Wrap both portions of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll out each portion to a thickness of about 1/4 inch
Using a sharp knife or a cookie cutter, cut out small squares or rectangles from both green and plain dough
Arrange the cutout shapes on the prepared baking sheet, alternating between green and plain to create a plaid pattern
If desired, sprinkle green sprinkles or colored sugar on top of the cookies
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn slightly golden
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
Once cooled, serve and enjoy your delightful Green Plaid Cookies!
