Ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup butter

• 1 egg

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour

Preparation

STEP 1 - make cookies

1. In a large bowl, mix butter, sugar, and flour until combined.

2. Add egg. Keep mixing.

3. Once the dough forms, remove it from the bowl and form into a ball (don’t over-mix!)
   Tip: If the dough is crumbling, add a spoon of soft butter, or 2-3 tsp of cold milk or water

4. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

5. If refrigerated for over an hour, let the dough warm up a bit before the next step.

6. Preheat the oven to 340°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

7. Generously flour each piece of dough and roll out until ¼-inch thick.

8. With the skeleton roller, press and roll firmly to transfer the skulls pattern. Only roll in one direction.
   Tip: For best results, it can be helpful to lightly flour the roller between batches.

9. Align Skull cookie cutter with the dotted lines to create skull shaped cookies from the embossed dough.

STEP 2 - Bake!

1. Place cookies on baking trays, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden brown.

2. Remove and allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to fully cool.

3. Enjoy!
