Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and egg, mixing well.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
-
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log shape, about 4 inches long, tapering one end slightly to resemble a hot dog.
-
Place the dough logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
-
Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.
-
Once the cookies are cooled, use the yellow frosting to pipe lines on each cookie to resemble mustard.
-
Next, use the red frosting to create zigzag lines on top of the yellow frosting to look like ketchup.
-
Finish off the hot dog cookies by adding a small dollop of white frosting on one end as the 'onion' garnish, and place a chocolate chip in the center as a 'seed.'
-
Let the frosting set before serving. Enjoy your adorable and tasty Hot Dog Cookies!
