See the step by step directions below!

    • softened butter: This serves as the base of your cookie dough, contributing to the rich, creamy texture and flavor of your cookies.


    • confectioners sugar: Also known as powdered or icing sugar, this fine sugar adds sweetness to the cookies and helps them achieve a soft and tender crumb.


    • almond extract: A small quantity of this potent extract imparts a delicate almond flavor that beautifully complements the butter and sugar.


    • all-purpose flour: The structural backbone of your cookies, all-purpose flour provides the necessary gluten that holds the dough together.


    • blue food coloring gel: This is used to give half the dough its vibrant blue color, adding an element of fun and visual appeal to the cookies.


    • white melting chocolate: Melted and used for dipping the cookies, it adds an extra layer of sweetness and creaminess, while also providing a visual contrast to the blue dough.


    • optional blue and white sprinkling sugar: If used, this adds a touch of sparkle to the blue side of the cookies, enhancing their festive appearance.

Step by Step Directions

    • Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and confectioners sugar. Add in the almond extract and beat until well combined.

    • Step 2: Gradually add in the flour and beat, making sure there are no streaks of flour visible in the dough.


    • Step 3: Now it's time to get creative! Divide the dough in half and add the blue food coloring to one half. Shape each half into an 8-inch long log and wrap them in plastic wrap. Pop them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
