Guardians of the Galaxy Groot Cookies
From Just Jenn Recipes
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- chocolate frosting
- black frosting
- matcha (green tea) powder
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer beat the butter and brown sugar until combined. Add the egg.
- Slowly add in the flour mixture until it is incorporated. The dough will form quickly, and when it starts to pull away from the bowl, it’s done!
- Split the dough into two and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill until you are ready to use.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with silpats.
- Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out random tree-ish shapes approx 4 inches tall and transfer onto the silpat lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes then let cool on a wire rack.
- Using a #2 tip and chocolate frosting, pipe lines to resemble tree bark.
- With the black frosting and a #3 tip add the details of two eyes and a line for Groot’s mouth.
- For the final touch, use a pastry paintbrush dipped in Matcha (green tea) powder and add some hints of green to the top of Groot’s head.
- Once the frosting has set, the cookies are ready to serve
