Who doesn't love cookies? They're a classic snack that is loved by people of all ages. Cookies come in all shapes and sizes, but today, we'll be sharing a recipe for leaf-shaped cookies. These cookies are perfect for autumn or any time of the year when you want to add a touch of nature to your snacks. The best part? They're easy to make and taste absolutely delicious. So, let's get started!

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you'll need to make leaf-shaped cookies:
  • 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 3 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • Green food coloring (optional)

Instructions

Now that you have all the ingredients, let's move on to the instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until the dough comes together.
  6. If using, add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough and mix until the desired color is achieved.
  7. Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each part into a disc. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Once the dough has chilled, remove one disc from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch thick.
  9. Using a leaf-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many cookies as possible and place them on the lined baking sheet. Repeat this process with the second disc of dough.
  10. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  11. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Decorate the cookies with icing, if desired, and enjoy!
