How to Make It:
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup (200g) butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Icing: - 1 cup (200g) sifted confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water
- Green and orange food coloring
How to Make It:
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth.
-
Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
-
Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into thirds and shape each into a ball. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Bake the Cookies
-
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the chilled dough balls to about 1/4 inch thickness.
-
Cut Rectangles: Use a knife to cut out rectangles approximately 2 inches by 3 inches (5 cm by 7.5 cm).
-
Bake: Place the rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.
-
Cool: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 3: Make the Icing
-
Prepare Icing Base: Mix confectioners’ sugar, salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add just enough water to make a spreadable icing.
-
Divide and Color Icing: Divide the icing into two portions. Add green food coloring to one portion and orange to the other. Mix each until the colors are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Decorate the Cookies
-
Frost the Cookies: Using the colored icings, frost each cookie with a green stripe on the left, a white stripe in the middle (leave unfrosted), and an orange stripe on the right. Each stripe should be about 1 inch wide.
-
Serve: Once the icing is set, your Irish Flag Cookies are ready to be enjoyed.
Pro Tips:
-
You can adjust the size of the cookies based on your preference.
-
For a more vibrant color, use gel or paste food coloring instead of liquid.
-
If you prefer a crisper cookie, bake for an additional minute or two.
