Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ tsp almond extract (optional)

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

For Decoration:

  • 1 batch royal icing or edible sugar glue

  • Rock candy (crushed, assorted colors)

  • Edible glitter or luster dust (gold, silver, rose gold)

  • Food coloring gel (optional)

  • Edible marker (for outlines)

  • Small paintbrush (for glitter application)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the egg and extracts. Slowly mix in dry ingredients until fully combined. Chill dough for 30 minutes.

  2. Roll and Cut:
    Roll dough to ¼-inch thickness. Cut into geode shapes using oval or irregular cookie cutters. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. Bake:
    Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.

  4. Carve the Centers:
    Use a sharp tool or small cutter to gently carve a shallow cavity in each cookie for the crystal center.

  5. Add Icing:
    Fill each cavity with royal icing or edible glue to create a sticky base for sugar crystals.

  6. Decorate with Crystals:
    Layer crushed rock candy starting from the center (darker color) and fading outward to lighter colors. Press lightly into the icing.

  7. Finish with Glitter:
    Use a fine brush to apply edible luster dust to the edges. Add edible glitter for shimmer.

  8. Dry & Serve:
    Let cookies dry for 2–3 hours until set. Serve or package individually for gifts or events.
