WATERMELON COOKIE
Steps:
- Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small mixing bowl.
- Beat butter and shortening with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Stir in egg, milk, and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture, mixing well. Add a small amount of red food coloring to color dough as desired, beating until blended. Shape dough into a ball; cover and chill at least 3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Divide dough in half; store one portion in refrigerator. Roll remaining portion to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough with a 3-inch round cookie cutter; cut circle in half. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press several chocolate mini chocolate chips in each cookie. Repeat with remaining dough.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C)
- Combine butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat together until creamy and well-combined.
- Add egg and vanilla extract and stir again.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients (I like to do this in 3 or 4 parts) until the flour has been completely incorporated. This is a somewhat dry dough and may seem crumbly, but scrape the bottom of the bowl periodically and the dough will come together if you continue mixing (assuming you have measured your flour properly).
- Once dough is clinging together and all of the flour has been absorbed, divide it in half, placing each half in its own bowl. Then, working with one half, divide that dough almost in half again, allotting slightly more to one portion than the other.
- To the largest portion of dough, add red or pink food coloring and stir until you have a vibrant pink color (adding more food coloring as needed). Add 2 Tablespoons of mini chocolate chips and stir until combined. Set aside.
- To the second largest portion of dough, add green food coloring (adding more coloring as needed) and stir until you have a vibrant green color. The third/smallest portion of dough should not be colored.
- Form the pink section of dough into a log that is about 12" long. Make it slightly wider than it is tall and round one wide end and flatten the other (if at any point the dough is too sticky to handle without difficulty, simply cover it and place in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before proceeding). Place the log flat-side down
- Take the un-colored dough and place it on a lightly floured surface or between two pieces of wax paper. Roll with a rolling pin until you have a rectangle that is large enough to cover the pink section. Carefully lift the dough it and use it to cover the rounded edge of the pink log (make sure this completely covers the pink section). Use a sharp knife to trim away any excess dough.
- Repeat step 8 with the green dough, making sure you roll it large enough to completely cover the pink and white dough. Cover the un-colored dough, then trim any excess dough as needed.
- Cover the surface of the dough with wax paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before proceeding. While dough chills, preheat oven to 375F (190C).
- Remove dough from refrigerator and use a sharp knife to slice log into slices between ⅛-¼" thick. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2" apart. Use a knife to carve slightly into the pink part of the cookie, making a slightly crescent shape (this is illustrated in the video and photos above).
- Press remaining chocolate chips point-down into the pink portion of the slices to make distinct watermelon "seeds".
- Transfer to 375F (190C) preheated oven and bake for 9 minutes. Allow to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.

Steps:
- Tip the butter, caster sugar and flour into a food processor with a pinch of salt and blitz until the mixture looks sandy. Add the egg yolk, vanilla and 1 tbsp cold water, and blitz again until the dough starts to clump together.
- Remove half of the dough from the food processor and set aside. Add a few drops of red food colouring to the dough still in the food processor and blitz until it's bright red. Halve the reserved plain dough, then add a few drops of green food colouring to one piece, kneading it until it is evenly coloured.
- Roll the red biscuit dough into a long sausage shape on a lightly floured surface - it should be about 20cm long. Roll the plain dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 20 x 10cm rectangle. Repeat with the green dough, rolling it out to the same size. Roll the plain dough around the red dough, bringing the ends together and trimming any excess. Repeat with the green dough, rolling it around the plain layer. Wrap the sausage of dough tightly and chill for at least 2 hrs. Will keep wrapped and frozen for up to two months.
- Heat the oven 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and line two baking trays with baking parchment. Unwrap the dough sausage, then use a sharp knife to cut it into rounds about 1cm thick. Arrange these on the prepared trays, then cut each round in half to make the watermelon wedges. You should have about 40 in total. Bake for 12-15 mins, swapping the trays over halfway through cooking if needed. Leave to cool completely on the trays.
- Once cooled, pipe small dots over the red 'watermelon flesh' using the black icing pen to look like seeds. Leave to set for 30 mins before serving or packing into bags. Will keep in an airtight container for up to three days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat.
- Whisk flour to break up any lumps then add in the cookie dough. Either by hand or with an electric mixer, combine dough and flour on low speed until well incorporated.
- Using a rolling pin, roll dough to ¼ inch thickness. Cut out cookie shapes, using a half circle cookie cutter. You can also use a round cookie cutter and cut the circles in half.
- Place the dough on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake cookies at 350 for 8 minutes or just until the edges start to brown.
- Allow the cookies to cook for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling to room temperature.
- In a stand mixer or electric mixer combine sugar and meringue powder.
- Add 8 tablespoons of water, using the whisk attachment, beat for 1 minute on low. Continue to add water one tablespoon at a time until the icing slowly drizzles from the whisk when lifted. If the icing is too hard, add more water one drop at a time. Too runny? Add more icing sugar one teaspoon at a time.
- Separate the icing into small mixing bowls and add desired food coloring. You'll need three colors: red, dark green and light green. For the two different shades of green just add additional drops of green food coloring to the bowl until it's the color you are looking for.
- Mix well and scoop the icing into piping bags or icing bottles.
- Start with the red icing and create an outline in a half circle shape on the cookie. Be sure and leave enough room for the watermelon rind.
- Fill in the outline with the red or hot pink icing.
- Take a toothpick and move the icing around to fill in gaps or pop any bubble you see.
- Allow the icing to completely dry before adding the next color. This keeps the icing from bleeding together.
- Once the red has dried. Outline the outer edge of the cookies with a line of the dark green icing.
- Allow the icing to dry before you add the lighter green edge then fill in between the dark green edge and the red icing with the lighter shade of green.
- Allow the icing on the cookies at least 2-3 hours to dry before adding the seeds.
- Once the icing has completely dried, use a black edible marker to draw the seeds on the watermelon.
