Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pink food coloring. Black food coloring. White royal icing. Red royal icing.

Instructions: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Divide the dough into two portions. Add pink food coloring to one portion and knead until evenly colored. Wrap both portions in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350F 175C. Roll out the pink and plain dough separately to about 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface. Use a Hello Kitty-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes from both doughs. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cookies are completely cool, use black food coloring to draw Hello Kitty's features eyes, nose, whiskers on the plain cookies. Outline the Hello Kitty shape on the pink cookies with white royal icing, then fill it in with red royal icing to create the bow. Let the icing set before serving or packaging the cookies.
