Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Gold and silver edible glitter or luster dust
  • Royal icing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it's light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cool, use royal icing to decorate the cookies as graduation caps, diplomas, or any creative design you like. While the icing is still wet, sprinkle the gold and silver edible glitter for that celebratory touch.

Keywords: Chilling the dough is crucial for shaping and ensures that your cookies hold their form while baking. Feel free to add a hint of almond extract or lemon zest for a unique twist.
