These Snowflake Cookies are the perfect treat for winter or holiday gatherings. The buttery and tender cookies are decorated with elegant blue and white royal icing, resembling delicate snowflakes. They not only look stunning but also taste delightful!

Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blue gel food coloring. White royal icing store-bought or homemade.

Instructions: Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium-sized bowl using a whisk. Put the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are smooth and creamy. Mix the egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture until everything is well mixed together. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a dough forms. Make two halves of the dough. Cover each halves with plastic wrap and put them in the fridge for at least an hour. Warm your oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. One piece of the chilled dough should be rolled out to about 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters in the shape of snowflakes and place them on the baking sheet that has been prepared. For 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden, bake the cookies. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way. Do the rolling and cutting again with the rest of the dough. First let the cookies cool completely. Then make the royal icing. Make two parts of the icing, and color one part blue with gel food coloring. Put the white icing into a piping bag with a small round tip. Then, put the blue icing into a different bag. Use the royal icing to make intricate designs on the snowflake cookies, switching between white and blue. Let the frosting harden all the way before you serve the cookies or put them away in a container that won't let air in. Have fun with your pretty and tasty snowflake cookies!
