These very tasty red cookies come from a special, long-forgotten and very ancient Martian recipe that were brought to earth from millions of miles away on a wayward asteroid. The recipe is also millions of years old.
You, however, can make it today in your very own home on the planet closest to Mars, earth!
* 1/2 pound butter (use lightly salted butter)
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1-1/2 tablespoons of water
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 3-1/2 cups flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* Rolling pin
* 2 bowls
* Cookie cutters to make fun shapes
* Lightly greased cookie sheet
* Red icing or frosting and red sprinkles
1- You’re going to mix some ingredients separately, so get two bowls ready. In one bowl (the larger one if you have two different sizes), beat the butter and sugar together until creamy and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time. Then blend in the water and vanilla.
2- In the second bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Once these three ingredients are all mixed together, stir them into the contents of the first bowl, and make sure the ingredients are well blended.
3- Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge to chill the mixture.
4- Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees (make sure to have an adult help you!)
5- Roll out the dough and use the cookie cutters to make fun shapes, like little Martians.
6- Grease a baking sheet lightly, and place the cookie dough at least 1″ apart on the sheet.
7- Baking time depends on the size of the cookies. Bake them for 5-7 minutes, but don’t let them brown!
8- Let them cool, decorate with icing and sprinkles, serve, and eat!
