These adorable Cinnamon Spritz Owl Cookies are a delightful treat for kids and adults alike. The buttery, cinnamon-infused dough is pressed into cute owl shapes and adorned with candy eyes, mini chocolate chips, and colorful sugar crystals. They're perfect for parties, holidays, or just as a fun baking project with your loved ones.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon salt. Candy eyes for decoration. Mini chocolate chips for decoration. Colored sugar crystals for decoration.
Instructions: Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix them in well. Mix the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt together in a different bowl using a whisk. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a dough forms. Turn on your oven and heat it up to 375F 190C. Add a disc in the shape of an owl to a cookie press. Put the dough into the cookie press and press the cookies onto baking sheets that have not been greased. Press two candy eyes, a mini chocolate chip for the beak, and colored sugar crystals for the feathers into each owl. For 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden, bake the cookies. Let the cookies cool for two minutes on the baking sheets before moving them to wire racks to cool all the way. After the Cinnamon Spritz Owl Cookies have cooled, put them in a container that won't let air in.
