Celebrate the beauty of spring with these delightful and colorful flower-shaped sugar cookies. They are perfect for any springtime occasion and will bring a smile to your face with their vibrant colors and edible flower decorations.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Assorted food coloring
• Edible flower decorations
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk

Put away

On a different large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy

Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix them in well

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a dough forms

Make sure each piece of dough is the same size and color it with a different food coloring

Each color of dough should be wrapped in plastic wrap and put in the fridge for at least an hour

Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet

On a floured surface, roll out each color of dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick

Cut out cookies from the rolled dough with cookie cutters that look like flowers

Put the cookies with the shapes on the baking sheet that has been prepared

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden

After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way

Add powdered sugar and milk to a bowl and mix them together until the frosting is smooth

As needed, change the consistency

Use the icing and edible flower decorations to decorate the cookies once they are cool

Wait for the icing to harden before you serve or package the cookies
