Description

Funny little fellas to make your kids happy on Halloween: Cranky Crinkle Monster Cookies!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120g) butter, at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/3 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • food color (e.g. blue, yellow, green, pink)
  • 1/2 cup (50g) confectioners’ sugar for rolling
  • candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Mix the butter with sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Mix the flour with baking powder, and salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Divide the dough into several portions and color each portion with the desired food color. Place the dough in the fridge for about 45 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment and set aside. Remove the dough from the fridge and form small balls (about the size of small walnuts), roll these balls in confectioners’ sugar until covered completely and then place them on the baking sheets. Make sure you have enough space in between. Bake one baking sheet at a time for about 12-14 minutes – the cookies should be firm, but not browned. Remove from the oven and let cool down for a moment on the baking sheet, then press several candy eyes into each still soft cookie and let cool down completely on a wire rack. Repeat with the second batch.

Notes

  • Happy Halloween!
