How to Make Gift Giving Edible Cookie Bowl

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight for best results).
Invert a 1-1.5 quart oven-safe bowl onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly grease the outside of the bowl with butter or cooking spray.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disk between two sheets of parchment paper to a 10-11 inch circle.
Using a 9-inch round cookie cutter or a knife, cut out a circle. (Optional: Use cookie cutters to cut out decorative shapes from the scraps.)
Carefully peel off the top sheet of parchment paper.
Invert the dough circle over the prepared bowl, gently pressing it into the sides and bottom to form the bowl.
Remove the remaining parchment paper. Trim any excess dough.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let cool completely in the bowl before carefully removing. (Optional: Bake decorative shapes for 6-8 minutes until lightly golden. Cool and attach with frosting.)
Repeat steps 8-14 with the remaining dough.
Fill your beautiful edible cookie bowls with your favorite cookies and enjoy!
