Ingredients
- 200g (1.5 cups) all-purpose flour
- 100g (1 cup) cake flour
- 50g (1/2 cup) powdered cacao
- 3g (1 teaspoon) cornstarch
- 2.5g (3/4 teaspoon) baking soda
- 4g (1 teaspoon) baking powder
- 2g (1/2 teaspoon) salt
- 200g (1 cup) cold butter, cubed
- 130g (3/4 cup) brown sugar
- 70g (1/2 cup) white sugar
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cake flour, powdered cacao, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold, cubed butter with the brown and white sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until everything is well combined, and a dough forms. It will be quite thick and chocolatey.
- Once your cookie dough is ready, use a cookie scoop or your hands to form small, equally sized balls of dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each ball to allow for spreading.
- Now comes the fun part. To create the button eyes, use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each dough ball. Press down gently, but not all the way through the cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To give your button eyes that classic look, you can use a tiny bit of white icing or melted white chocolate to add a small white dot in the center of each indentation. These are the “buttons” for Coraline’s eyes.
- Once the icing is set, your Coraline Button Eyes Cookies are ready to serve. These delightful, spooky treats will surely bring the eerie charm of the movie to your kitchen. Enjoy, and be careful not to get too mesmerized by their eyes! 👁🍪
