Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips
• 1 batch royal icing
• 1 assorted food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the vanilla extract and the egg, then mix until fully incorporated.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into two disks, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Use cat-shaped cookie cutters to cut out cookies. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 9

Press two chocolate chips into each cat cookie to create the eyes.

Step 10

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 11

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Once cooled, prepare your royal icing and divide into small bowls if using different food coloring to decorate.

Step 13

Decorate the cookies with royal icing to create whiskers, noses, or other fun details. Let the icing set completely before serving.

Step 14

Enjoy your Kitty Cat Cookies with friends, family, or a cup of tea!
