the year the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl! WA-HOO!!!!
To celebrate, I've created a special cookie in honor of the "12th man," the Seahawk's fans... for us who are loud & proud, and blue & green!
Cookie:
½
c. butter (room temp.)
½
c. coconut oil (melted)
1
c. sugar
1
Tbsp. brown sugar
1
large egg
1
Tbsp. vanilla
2
c. flour
¼
tsp. salt
½
tsp. baking powder
lots
of blue food coloring
Cream
Cheese Frosting:
½
c. unsalted butter
1
package cream cheese (8oz.)
2-3
c. powdered sugar
1
tsp. vanilla
lots
of green food coloring
If
you are going to a party with lots of fans, feel free to double the
recipe.
For
the cookie, blend together all the wet ingredients. Then
add the dry ingredients, adding the flour little by little. For the
blue color, keep adding until you get a dark blue. (By the way, this
is going to take a lot of food coloring. Feel free to add less... but
dark blue is the way to go for true color!
Roll
out the dough flat, about 1/4 inch thick, and cut out small sized
circles. I used the rim of a champagne flute to get the right size. I
made several larger ones at first, and they were just too big. Keep
it small and sweet!
If
you're feeling crazy, you can also carve some awesome 12's with a
toothpick on the top of half of the cookies to show your pride!
Bake
the cookies on a Silpat mat or non-stick parchment paper at 350* for 9-10 minutes. You want them to be firm and
fully cooked, but still soft to bite.
While
the cookies are baking, whip up some cream cheese frosting, blending
the butter and the cream cheese first, then add the powdered sugar
little by little for the right consistency. Slightly firm frosting is
good, so when you blend it, it should forms peaks. Add green food
coloring little by little for the right green. (Again, this takes
quite a bit, but adjust to your own color desires.)
When
the cookies are all baked and cooled, make sandwiches with the
frosting in the middle. Serve to your fellow '12th Man' (aka.
Seahawk's fans) on the big day!
GO
SEAHAWKS!!!
