Ingredients
Method
- Mix the all-purpose flour, salt, cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda and cinnamon in a small bowl until evenly distributed. Set aside.
- Add the melted butter and the brown sugar to a separate bowl and mix with a spatula until completely combined and smooth.
- Add the egg and mix again until smooth.
- Add the all-purpose flour mixture from step 1 along with the green food coloring and mix until smooth. If your green is closer to a moss shade you can add a bit of yellow food coloring to brighten it.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- While the dough chills make the cinnamon sugar coating. Add the granulated sugar and cinnamon to a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the green (and yellow if needed) food coloring to the cinnamon sugar until the desired color is achieved and mix with a spoon or gloved hand to distribute the pigment. If using a spoon, press the the clumps of pigment into the sugar. If doing this step by hand use a rubbing motion at your fingertips to distribute the pigment. Set aside.
- Once the dough has been chilled, portion it out into 8-10 equally sized balls (about the size of a ping-pong ball or slightly larger). Roll the dough between your palms to form them into spheres.
- Roll the dough spheres in your dyed cinnamon sugar - coating them thoroughly and evenly
- Press a confetti heart into each of the cookie dough balls, positioning them off-center.
- Arrange the coated cookie dough spheres on a parchment-lined baking sheet allowing for about 2 inches of space around each to account for spreading.
- Bake the cookies for 8 minutes at 395°F.
