Instructions

  • In a bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside. 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and Princess emulsion. Gradually blend in dry ingredients. The mixture will be dry and crumbly. 1 cup salted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 3/4 teaspoon LorAnn Princess Cake & Cookie Bakery Emulsion
  • Mix in the colored sugar just until combined. (The more you mix it, the more the sugar cookies will melt in and not show up well.) 1/2 cup coarse colored sugar crystals
  • Scoop the dough into the palm of your hand and shape into about 20-24 balls. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Slightly flatten the top of each cookie with the bottom of a glass. Refrigerate the cookie dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF and bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not let the cookies get brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes, then move them to a flat surface  or wire rack to cool completely.
  • Melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each time. Continue to do this until the chocolate is completely melted. 8 ounces white chocolate bar or melting wafers
  • Dip each cookie into the melted chocolate to cover half of the cookie with melted white chocolate.
  • Allow any extra chocolate to drip off, then place it on a parchment lined pan. Immediately sprinkle with colored sugar. 3 tablespoons coarse colored sugar crystals
  • Allow the cookies to set, then store them in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Weigh the flour so you don't add too much. This is a dry dough already, so be careful not to add more than you need.
  • Do not overbake the cookies!
  • The calories shown are based on the recipe making 24 cookies, with 1 serving being 1 cookie.
