Las Vegas 70th Birthday Party Cookies

Celebrate a 70th birthday in Las Vegas style with these fun and glamorous marbled cookies! The red and black colors, reminiscent of casino tables, along with a sprinkle of edible gold glitter, bring the excitement of Las Vegas to your dessert table.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 tablespoon milk
• Red and black food coloring
• Edible gold glitter

Instructions:

Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk

Cream the butter and sugar together in a different large bowl until they are light and fluffy

Add the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract and beat until everything is well mixed

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a dough forms

Separate the dough into two pieces

Add red food coloring to one half and black food coloring to the other half

Knead the dough until the colors are spread out evenly

To make the dough look like marble, take small pieces of each color and gently roll them together

Use cookie cutters to make shapes out of the marbled dough that are related to the 70th birthday

Place the cookie shapes on the baking sheet that has been prepared

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden

After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

Once the cookies are cool, you can add a touch of Las Vegas glitz by covering them in edible gold glitter
