Halloween Coraline Cookies

As we know, Halloween is coming up, and what better way to celebrate than making a delicious treat inspired by one of the most popular spooky movies, Coraline? We can make delicious cookies shaped like the button eyes of the “other mother” from the film. In this recipe, we will be using….

-1 cup of butter (equal to 2 sticks)

-1 cup sugar 

-1 ½ tsp of Mexican vanilla extract 

-1 tsp of almond extract

-3 cups flour 

-1 egg

-food dye

After finding our ingredients, we…

-preheat oven to 350

-add our butter and sugar into large bowl and mix until everything is fluffy

-add an egg and both extracts until both ingredients are fully mixed in

-slowly add the flour one cup at a time and mix until fully incorporated

-roll your dough into a ball and cut into 4 pieces (one for each button color), adding the food dye and folding the dough until desired color 

-place in fridge for 20 minutes 

-cut out your cookie in a circular shape, leaving 3-4 small circular indents on each cookie to create the “button” look (can use a straw by punching it into the cookie)

-line a cookie tray with parchment paper and cook for around 8-12 minutes, then enjoy your Coraline button cookies!
