Ceramic Mold Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract if using.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Using a ceramic mold, press the dough into your chosen shapes. If you don’t have a mold, you can roll out the dough and use cookie cutters.
  7. Place the molded cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, allowing space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them, as baking time can vary depending on your oven.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finish once cooled.

Enjoy these beautiful ceramic mold cookies with friends and family! They make for perfect gifts or can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon. Happy baking!
