How to Make Watermelon Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar 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 soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. To one half, add the red food coloring and mix until evenly distributed.
- To the other half, add the green food coloring and mix until evenly distributed.
- Place a spoonful of the green dough onto the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your hand or a spatula.
- Top with a spoonful of the red dough and flatten slightly.
- Using a small knife or melon baller, cut out small triangles to create the watermelon seed pattern.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, you can drizzle melted white chocolate over the red portion of the cookies to resemble the watermelon's white flesh.
