Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Assorted food coloring gel. Edible paintbrushes. Edible markers. Edible glitter optional.

Instructions: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 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 several portions, depending on how many colors you want to use. Add a few drops of food coloring gel to each portion and knead until the color is evenly distributed. Wrap each colored dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take one portion of colored dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use Monster High-themed cookie cutters to cut out shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the remaining portions of colored dough. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cookies are completely cooled, use edible paintbrushes and markers to add intricate details and designs inspired by Monster High characters. You can also sprinkle some edible glitter on the cookies to add a touch of sparkle. Allow the edible paint to dry before serving and enjoying your Monster High Painted Cookies!
