Celebrate Earth Day by Baking a Batch of Planet-Inspired Sugar Cookies

Here's a fun and tasty project to celebrate Mother Nature.

Swirled with bright blue and green colors, these Earth Day treats are simple sugar cookies dyed to look just like our beautiful planet. They're the perfect treat to make in celebration of Earth Day, which falls on April 22nd this year.

You Will Need

• One batch of Basic Sugar Cookie dough (recipe below)
• Green and blue food coloring

To Make the Cookies

Prepare the Basic Sugar Cookie dough following the recipe instructions, but don't wrap and chill the prepared dough. Instead, divide it into two halves and place each half in a bowl. Use food coloring to dye one portion of the dough blue and the other portion green.

Preheat your oven to 160°C degrees. Spray baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray and site aside. Place a piece of parchment paper on the work surface. Pinch off small pieces of dough in varying sizes (between 1/2 teaspoon and two teaspoons each). Shape and press six to eight of the dough pieces together in a circular shape. 

Roll the blue and green dough pieces together to form a ball (ball size should be between one and two tablespoons). Repeat with remaining dough. Makes 12 to 18 cookies depending on size. 

Transfer your cookies to the prepared baking sheet and bake until edges and top are crisp, about 15 to 18 minutes (Baking time will depend on the size of the cookies). Remove from the oven, then place them on a wire rack to cool. Let your cookies cool completely before serving.

Cookies will last up to a week stored in airtight containers at room temperature.

Basic Sugar Cookies

Prep:1 hr 30 mins

Total:2 hrs

Yield:Makes 32

Ingredients

Sugar Cookies

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• Step 1

In large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; beat until combined. Divide dough in half; flatten into disks. Wrap each in plastic; freeze until firm, at least 20 minutes, or place in a resealable plastic bag, and freeze up to 3 months (thaw in refrigerator overnight).

• Step 2

Preheat oven to160 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment. Remove one dough disk; let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Roll out 1/8 inch thick between two sheets of floured parchment, dusting dough with flour as needed. Cut shapes with cookie cutters. Using a spatula, transfer to prepared baking sheets. (If dough gets soft, chill 10 minutes.) Reroll scraps; cut shapes. Repeat with remaining dough.

• Step 3

Bake, rotating halfway through, until edges are golden, 10 to 18 minutes (depending on size). Cool completely on wire racks.

You can store cookies in airtight containers at room temperature, up to 1 week.
