How to Make Accordion Treats
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a 12x6 inch rectangle.
- Spread each rectangle with half of the melted butter.
- Starting at one of the short ends, tightly roll the dough lengthwise into a log.
- Cut each log into 1-inch slices. Gently fan or accordion each slice.
- Place the cookies onto ungreased baking sheets, keeping the accordion shape.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before drizzling with melted chocolate (optional).
