Boba Fett Holiday Sweater Cookies
You’ll Need:
- Sweater cookie cutter
- Sprinkles
Red Cookie Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- Red food coloring
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Green Cookie Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Matcha powder (or green food coloring)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Icing Ingredients:
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons meringue powder
- 3 Tablespoons warm water
- Black food coloring
- Red food coloring
Step 1: For the red dough, in a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2: In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
Step 3: Add the egg, red food coloring, and vanilla, until combined.
Step 4: Slowly add in the dry ingredients just until the dough comes together. Split the dough into two and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill until you are ready to use.
Step 5: For the green dough, in a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, Matcha powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 6: In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
Step 7: Add the egg, and vanilla, until combined.
Step 8: Slowly add in the dry ingredients just until the dough comes together. Split the dough into two and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill until you are ready to use.
Step 9: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 10: Roll out the red dough to about 1/4-inch thick. Use the cookie cutter to cut out sweater shapes, then transfer onto the prepped baking sheets. Add a small loop at the top.
Step 11: Roll out the green dough to about 1/4-inch thick and cut out a small piece in the shape of Boba Fett’s helmet. Place onto the sweater.
Step 12: Bake for 10 minutes, let cool on a wire rack.
Step 13: In the bowl of an electric mixer, stir together the powdered sugar and meringue powder. Slowly add the water until the icing is combined. Add a teaspoon of water if necessary, to get the right consistency.
Step 14: Separate 1/4 cup of icing into a small bowl, then stir in the black food coloring to dye the icing black. Separate another 1/4 cup into a separate small bowl, stirring in the red food coloring to dye the icing red. Set aside. Place the remaining white icing into a piping bag.
Step 15: Use the icing to pipe details on the sweater. Add sprinkles. Use the black and red icings to pipe Boba Fett helmet details.
Step 16: Once the icing has dried, the cookies are ready to serve.
Enjoy! These cookies will rule your holiday desserts with respect.
