Pusheen Shaker Cookies

(makes 9 shaker cookies)

Ingredients

Vanilla Butter Cookie

½ cup or 1 stick unsalted butter (115g)

½ cup castor sugar (100g)

1 egg (2.3oz or 65g)

2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)

¼ cup corn starch (30g)

1/3 tsp salt (2g)

½ tsp vanilla extract (2.5g)

Candy Window Pane

1/5 cup hard clear candies (choose your desired flavour)

Decorations

½ cup dark compound chocolate (75g) or royal icing (see Butter cookies)

 

1. Add hard clear candies to a ziplock bag. Choose any brand or flavor of hard candies that you enjoy. Crush them into fine powder using a mallet or metal rod.

2. Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar till pale and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl, and add the egg. Continue beating till the egg is well incorporated and the mixture lightens in colour.

3. On low speed, mix in sifted flour, cornstarch and salt.

4. Add in vanilla extract and mix well.

 

5. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in cling wrap and chill for about an hour.

6. Roll the dough to ¼-inch thick.

 

7. Cut out your desired Pusheen shape with a sharp knife using DIY template (made by tracing Pusheen shape onto a piece of mousse or food safe plastic).

8. Preheat oven to 338oF (170oC).

9. Place the cookies onto a baking tray lined with baking sheet or silpat mat.

 

10. Punch out a hole in the belly of the Pusheen using a round cutter smaller than the Pusheen body (at least ¼ inches smaller on all sides).

 

11. Add in crushed candies powder in the inside of the cookies. Distribute evenly. Crushed candies must be sufficiently thick (around ¼-inch thick).

12. Bake for 12-13 minutes. You can use a pin to pop any air bubbles in the candy window when the cookies are right out of the oven.

13. Let the cookies cool completely before lifting off the baking sheet to ensure that the candy has fully set.

 

14. To assemble the shaker cookie, place sprinkles inside the window pane of one cookie. Pipe a ring of chocolate around the window pane, stick on another cookie.

 

15. Pipe on the details with melted chocolate or royal icing.

 

We love holiday decorations almost as much as we adore the flavors of the season and when the two are combined… well, that’s just plain magic!

We teamed up with Jessica from Pies Are Awesome to bake this unforgettable pie inspired by Pusheen’s holiday spirit! At first glance, it simply looks like everyone’s favorite lovable tabby dressed up like a Christmas tree, but take one small bite and it’s clear that this holiday dish is just as sweet as it is festive!

Holiday Pie Baking Tips from Jessica:
You can create your very own Pusheen Christmas pie with any kind of base pie! For the top design, bake between 12 – 16 minutes at 400 degrees on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Be sure to let the baked top design cool first before placing it on top of the base pie right after it comes out of the oven. This will ensure the two pieces fuse together!

You can find even more of Jessica’s baked creations and baking tips on Instagram at @thepieous.
