Black Cat Cookies

By khoni

As the holiday season nears, the smell of freshly baked cookies is irresistible. Among the many festive options, Black Gingerbread Cat Cookies are unique, combining tradition with a fun twist. These dark cookies with warm, spicy flavours charm your table and celebrate the season’s playful mood.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger

  • 1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/2 cup molasses

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • Black food colouring gel

Instructions:

  1.  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and dark brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  4.  Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Add black food colouring gel a little at a time until you achieve the desired colour, mixing well to ensure an even colour.

  6. Divide the dough into two disks, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cat-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheets.

  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies soft.

  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate with icing or leave them as they are.
