These adorable and colorful cookies are the perfect treat for a Little Birdie Birthday Party! The soft and buttery sugar cookies are shaped like little birds, flowers, and other party-themed designs. Decorated with vibrant colors and a sprinkle of edible glitter, these cookies will delight both kids and adults at the birthday celebration.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Food coloring assorted colors. Edible glitter optional.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into separate portions for each color of dough you want to create. Add a few drops of food coloring to each portion and knead until the color is evenly distributed. Shape the colored dough portions into small bird shapes, flower shapes, and other party-themed designs. If desired, sprinkle edible glitter over the shaped cookies for a touch of sparkle. Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once completely cooled, your Little Birdie Birthday Party cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
