Prepare for Battle

Gather all your friends and equip them with aprons and kitchen tools. Make sure everyone is ready for the delicious adventure ahead!

Gather Your Ingredients

Collect all the necessary ingredients for your Knight's Shield Cookies. You will need: 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 cup unsalted butter (softened), 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, assorted food coloring, and royal icing tubes for decorating.

Mix and Chill

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Divide the dough into smaller portions, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Shape Your Shields

After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Using a shield-shaped cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Re-roll and cut any remaining dough.

Colorful Knightly Designs

Now it's time to give those shields some vibrant colors! Use your assorted food coloring to tint portions of the royal icing that will be used for decorating. Let your creativity shine as you paint your shields with colorful designs using the tinted icing.

Bake and Cool

Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
