21 of Our Favorite Football Themed Desserts

1. Football Themed Desserts: Sugar Cookies Recipe

[ad#co-3]

Super Bowl Dessert Ingredients:

For Cookies:

2 cups flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 stick room temperature unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon milk or cream

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Football Themed Cookies Icing:

2 cups confectioners’ sugar

1 tablespoon milk, plus more if needed for consistency

1 tablespoon light corn syrup

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Brown food coloring

Football Themed Desserts Directions:

1. Use your mixer to cream together the butter and sugar together. When thoroughly combined, add in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
2. Meanwhile, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
3. Turn the mixer to the lowest setting and gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Continue mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
4. Flour a work surface and flatten the dough into a disk. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and transfer it to the freezer to set for at least half an hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
6. Flour two sheets of parchment paper. Unwrap the dough and roll it into a 1/8 inch thick sheet between the two pieces of parchment paper, dusting as needed to keep the dough from sticking.
7. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and use a football-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Gather the dough scraps into a ball, roll it into another sheet, and continue cutting out shapes until all the dough has been used.
8. Bake the cookies for 10-15 minutes, rotating them halfway through.
9. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.
10. While the cookies cool, start the icing by thoroughly sifting the confectioners’ sugar.
11. Mix the sifted sugar with the milk until a spreadable consistency is achieved.
12. Beat the corn syrup and almond extract into the icing until it becomes smooth and glossy.
13. Separate 1/3 of the icing into a different bowl. Stir brown food coloring into the larger portion until it reaches the shade of a football.
14. Leave the other icing white. Cover the bowl with a moist paper towel to make sure the icing does not dry out.
15. When the cookies have cooled completely, use the back of a spoon to spread a dollop of brown icing across each one.
16. Let the cookies stand for at least 20 minutes to allow the brown icing to harden.
17. Put the white icing into a pastry bag with a 2” tip. (Note: If you don’t have a pastry bag, you can use a thumbtack to work a small hole into the corner of a sandwich baggie.)
18. To decorate each end of the cookie: Pipe two lines of white icing to create a thick, curved C-shape. Fill in the space between the two lines with more icing.
19. To decorate the center of each cookie: Pipe a single vertical line. Then, pipe several smaller horizontal lines across it in order to create the laces.
20. Allow the white icing at least 10 minutes to set before serving.

This recipe will make around 30 football-shaped cookies. But when planning for your party, aim for two cookies per person. Feel free to play around with cookie shapes, food coloring, and piping designs in order to make this recipe work for you. While, as it stands, this is a super bowl dessert, it could easily be made into a go-to recipe for every special day.
