Ingredients

For the Cookies:

2 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

For the Icing:

2 egg whites
1 cup powdered sugar
½ tsp cream of tartar
Red and Black Gel Food Coloring

Instructions

For the Cookies:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the dough into several portions and roll it out on a lightly floured surface.
Cut out the cookies with a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
Bake until the edges are just lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool briefly on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Icing:

Beat the egg whites, powdered sugar, and cream of tartar until smooth and the icing reaches the desired consistency.
Divide the icing between three bowls. Color one portion red and another black, leaving the third portion white.
Transfer the red and black icing to piping bags. Decorate the ears with black icing and the bottom portion of each cookie with red icing.
Allow the icing to set completely.
Transfer the white icing to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip and pipe buttons onto each cookie.
Allow the icing to dry completely before storing the cookies in an airtight container.

Notes

Store the leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
