These adorable owl cookies are a hoot! Made with a buttery vanilla dough and decorated with chocolate chips, almonds, and candy, they're perfect for parties and fun occasions.
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Chocolate chips or candy melts for eyes. Sliced almonds for feathers. Candy orange slices or M&M's for beaks. Mini chocolate chips for pupils.
Instructions: Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk. Mix the butter and sugar in a different bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix them in well. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones one at a time and mix them together until a dough forms. Split the dough in half, cover each half with plastic wrap, and put both halves in the fridge for at least an hour. Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. On a floured surface, roll out one piece of dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out owl shapes with a cookie cutter that looks like one, and then put them on the baking sheet that has been prepared. Each owl needs two chocolate chips or candy melts for eyes. To make feathers, press two sliced almonds onto the top of each owl. To make the beak, put an orange slice or an M&M below the eyes. Small chocolate chips can be used to make the eyes' pupils. Do the same thing with the rest of the dough. After the oven is hot, bake the owl cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way.
