Ingredients Fit for Magic
You’ll need a few pantry staples, a pinch of creativity, and some extra sprinkles of holiday cheer:
Cookies
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing
- 2 pasteurized egg whites
- 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- Food coloring (optional)
- “Pixie Dust” (colored sugar sprinkles)
Creating the Magic
Step 1: Make the Dough
Start by combining your flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk until well-blended and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture in three parts, allowing the dough to come together. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour—giving you the perfect excuse for a quick break with a mug of cocoa.
Step 2: Roll, Cut, and Bake
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Roll the chilled dough on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thick, then let the magic begin! Use your favorite cookie cutters to create festive shapes (pro tip: dip them in flour for neat edges). Arrange the cookies 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown. Let your cookies cool completely before decorating.
Adding the Disney Touch
Step 3: Whip Up the Icing
In your electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until frothy, then slowly add confectioners’ sugar until the icing is thick yet spreadable. For an extra festive flair, mix in food coloring to create vibrant holiday hues.
Step 4: Decorate Like a Pro
Once your cookies are cool, it’s time to unleash your inner Imagineer! Cover each cookie with a smooth layer of icing. If you’re feeling fancy, use a stencil (or freehand if you dare!) to sprinkle on some “Pixie Dust” before the icing dries.
