Why I Love This Recipe
In Ancient Egypt, cats were revered and even worshipped as divine beings. They were considered protectors of the home and bringers of good luck.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Gray food coloring
Black food coloring
Pink candy melts or icing
Black licorice or black decorating gel
Directions
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal portions.
Add gray food coloring to one portion and black food coloring to the other, adjusting the shade to your preference.
Wrap each colored dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take a small amount of each colored dough and roll them into balls, then gently press them together to form a cat face shape on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, use pink candy melts or icing to create the nose and black licorice or decorating gel to make the whiskers and eyes.
Pairs Well With
A glass of cold milk or a warm cup of herbal tea for a comforting treat.
