“I Just Wanna Be Your Teddy Bear” Tuxedo Cookies
Yield: approximately 36
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon butter extract
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, such as Ghirardelli
- Garnish: Wilton Gold Color Mist spray, gold sugar pearls, dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Line several rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking well.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar. Beat at high speed with a mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes. Add egg, vanilla extract, and butter extract, beating until incorporated. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until dough comes together.
- Place half of dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper, and roll to a ¼-inch thickness. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, and freeze for 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Using a 3x2½-inch teddy bear–shaped cutter, cut as many shapes as possible from dough. Place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Using a wooden pick, etch a bow-tie shape onto each cookie.
- Bake cookies until edges are very light brown, approximately 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire cooling racks, and let cool completely.
- Spray cookies with Wilton Gold Color Mist spray, and let dry.
- Melt bittersweet chocolate according to package directions. Using a small food-safe paintbrush, paint melted dark chocolate into bow-tie shapes on cookies. Place a gold sugar pearl in the center of each bow tie. Let dry completely.
- Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container with layers separated by waxed paper.
