11 Christmas Cookies Butterfly Pea Flower Variations

Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Sugar Cookies

Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Sugar Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic sugar cookie, infused with the vibrant blue color and subtle earthy flavor of butterfly pea flower powder. These cookies not only make for a visually stunning treat but also add a unique touch to your holiday cookie platter. Perfect for festive gatherings or as a gift, these cookies maintain a soft and chewy texture while impressing everyone with their lovely hue.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the Egg and Vanilla: Next, add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugars. Beat until fully incorporated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, butterfly pea flower powder, cornstarch, and salt. Mixing them dry helps distribute the leavening agent evenly.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to guarantee the cookies remain tender.
6. Scoop the Cookie Dough: Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
7. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is perfect for soft cookies.
8. Cool on Wire Rack: Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Optional Decoration: If desired, you can dust the cooled cookies with additional powdered sugar or decorate with icing for an extra festive touch.

Enjoy these stunning Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Sugar Cookies as a special treat that brightens up any holiday occasion!

Colorful Blue Swirl Meringues

Colorful Blue Swirl Meringues are light, airy confections that are a delightful addition to any holiday dessert table. They are made with egg whites and sugar, then flavored and colored with butterfly pea flower powder for a stunning blue hue, creating a beautiful marbled effect. Not only are these meringues visually appealing, but they also have a sweet and subtle floral taste that pairs well with their crispy texture. Perfect for snacking or serving as an elegant treat during festive gatherings, these meringues are guaranteed to enchant anyone who tries them.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to guarantee the meringues do not stick.
2. Prepare Mixing Bowl: Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of grease. This guarantees that the egg whites whip properly.
3. Whip the Egg Whites: In the clean mixing bowl, add the 4 large egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they become frothy.
4. Add Cream of Tartar: Once frothy, add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar. Increase the mixer speed to high and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
5. Gradually Add Sugar: While the mixer is on high speed, gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until the mixture becomes glossy and stiff peaks form. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
6. Incorporate Vanilla and Butterfly Pea Flower Powder: Once stiff peaks are achieved, gently fold in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of butterfly pea flower powder using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the meringue.
7. Color the Meringue: If desired, add a few drops of blue food coloring to the meringue and use a spatula to create a marbled effect. Avoid over-mixing to maintain the swirls.
8. Pipe the Meringues: Transfer the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced adequately apart as they will not spread. You can also use a spoon to drop mounds if desired.
9. Bake the Meringues: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meringues for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they are completely dry and can easily be lifted off the parchment paper.
10. Cool: After baking, turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar. This helps prevent cracks and allows them to dry out even more.
11. Serve: Once cooled, carefully remove the meringues from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container until ready to serve. Enjoy the light and sweet treats!
