Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Green food coloring (optional, for Creeper cookies)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Step 2: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. If desired, divide the dough and add green food coloring to one portion for Creeper themed cookies.
- Step 4: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use Minecraft-themed cookie cutters (like a square for Creepers) or desired shapes to cut out cookies.
- Step 5: Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their freshness.
- For a warm, melty treat, microwave a cookie for about 5-10 seconds before serving.
- Serve these Minecraft cookies with a glass of cold milk for a truly pixelated party.
- Chef's tip: Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before rolling helps prevent spreading during baking, giving you sharper Minecraft shapes.
