Get ready to up your cookie game with this incredible flavor and stunning look! No chilling required makes these super quick and fun to make!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227g) Unsalted Butter Chilled, Cubed
- 1 cup (200g) Granulated White Sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) Cake Batter Flavoring LorAnn Brand
- 1 Large Egg Chilled
- 2 tsp (9.5g) Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) Salt
- 3 cups (380g) All-Purpose Flour
- Food coloring, as desired I use gel coloring for best results
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- We bake on our favorite perforated baking mats to eliminate any chance of spread, for even baking and pretty undersides of our cookies!
- Cream butter and sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. No need to excessively cream as it can lead to cookie spread.
- Beat in cake batter flavoring, vanilla and egg.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add to wet ingredient mixing bowl a little at a time.
- Mix until thoroughly blended. Dough should be pulling away from the bowl.
- Chilling the dough is not necessary!
- Using gel food coloring and gloves, knead your desired colors into separate chunks of dough until the coloring is consistent throughout.
- Taking chunks of your different colors, create a larger ball of dough to roll out. If you want your colors to be distinct from each other, don't knead the dough as much. If you want them to be more marbled, knead them together more.
- You are now ready to roll out your dough! I use a floured surface and roll my dough to 1/4" thick. I use my Joseph Joseph rolling pin which does the measuring for me – genius! If you prefer thicker cookies, you'll just want to adjust your baking time.
- Cut and reroll your dough to use all of the dough.
- Bake at 350 for 7-8 minutes, depending on size of cookie. I also suggest baking similar-sized cookies together.
- Cool cookies on cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to cooling rack.

Notes
Cookie Consistency Notes:
The dough should be pulling away from the sides of the mixer. If dough seems too crumbly or dry, it has not come together yet. Mix for another minute.
If dough is not pulling away from the sides of the bowl, add more flour a Tablespoon at a time until it is.
