♥ Baking Hello Kitty cookies

Posted by Crystal - 03/01/09 at 09:01:02 pm

Last week or so, I attempted baking some sugar cookies with the Hello Kitty cookie cutters I had purchased on a recent trip to the mall. I didn’t really have a specific recipe picked out, so I just used the one provided on the back of the cookie cutters package. I guess that was a bag idea because I followed the recipe exactly; measured all the ingredients, and the consistency of the dough turned out all wrong! The cutters stuck to it and when I tried to remove the excess dough it would ruin the shape. The boyfriend had a clever idea to just dip the cutters and not peel away the excess dough and bake it that way. You can probably guess how that turned out; a huge flat cookie with the shapes drawn into it. So, a lot of dough was wasted. I ended up adding more wheat flour (wheat was all we had left) to the dough and that fixed the problem. I got some cookies to turn out good but didn’t bother with adding frosting because I didn’t have that many cookies.


What a mess this made!

They actually tasted alright…but I want to try a different recipe next time.

I’m amazed I actually got a cookie to look like Hello Kitty!

   Here’s one!

   1/2 cup butter (softened)
   1 cup sugar
   1 egg
   1/2 tsp salt
   2 tsp baking powder
   2 cups flour
   1/2 tsp vanilla

   1. Cream butter and sugar together.
   2. Blend in egg.
   3. Sift together salt, baking powder, and flour.
   4. Add to mixture.
   5. Blend vanilla into mixture.
   6. Chill dough for an hour.
   7. Roll dough to about 1/2 an inch thick and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
   8. Bake on lightly greased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes.

   I used this recipe for Christmas cookies and it was perfect. I can’t remember where I found it, but it was the best one I’ve ever used. As long as the dough is chilled, you don’t even really have to flour the surface you roll it out on. It comes out totally perfect.

   Happy baking!!
