Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Green and black food coloring
- Assorted Halloween-themed decorations
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms
Divide the dough into two equal portions
Add green food coloring to one portion and black food coloring to the other, kneading each portion until the color is evenly distributed
Shape the green and black doughs into separate logs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 1 hour until firm
Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Take small portions of each colored dough and twist them together to create marbled patterns
Roll the marbled dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
Once the cookies are completely cool, decorate them with assorted Halloween-themed decorations to resemble witches brew and magical potions
