Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • Gel food coloring
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (for filling)
  • 4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (or milk)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt (for filling)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If the dough seems too dry, add a touch of milk to achieve the perfect consistency.

6. Divide the dough into separate portions and tint each one with your desired pastel gel food coloring, kneading the color in gently.

7. Roll the colored dough into balls and flatten them slightly on the prepared baking sheet.

8. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.

9. For the vanilla filling, beat the softened butter in a medium bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream (or milk), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, mixing until the filling is smooth and creamy.

10. Spread or pipe the vanilla filling onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie, creating a delightful pastel sandwich.

Notes

Avoid overbaking the cookies to maintain their soft, chewy texture.

Be gentle when kneading the food coloring into the dough to prevent overworking the gluten and creating tough cookies.

Experiment with different pastel shades by mixing and matching the gel food coloring.

Store the assembled cookie sandwiches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fresh and delectable.
