1

Start by mixing together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. In a separate large bowl, beat together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until creamy. Add in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Cutting Out the Magical Slippers

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Take one of the chilled dough discs and roll it out on a floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch thick. Use a slipper-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many slipper shapes as you can. Carefully transfer the cutouts onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie. Gather the leftover scraps, form a dough ball, and repeat the rolling and cutting process until all the dough is used.

Baking and Cooling the Slippers

Place the baking sheets with the slipper-shaped cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Decorating with Magic Icing

Prepare a batch of royal icing by beating together 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of meringue powder, and 2-3 tablespoons of water until smooth and thick. Divide the icing into separate bowls and add food coloring to create your desired magical colors. Transfer each icing color into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Let the decorating magic commence as you pipe intricate designs, patterns, and swirls onto your cooled slipper cookies. Feel free to use edible glitter, sprinkles, and other edible decorations to make your cookies shine with extra sparkle!
