Buffy the Vampire Slayer is showing off a new set of superpowers, this time in the kitchen. Sarah Michelle Gellar teamed with two longtime friends and fellow parents to create Foodstirs. They loved how much baking helped connect them with their kids.
Gellar, who has been married to Freddie Prinze Jr. since 2002, has two kids with the actor and they all enjoy being in the kitchen together. She was amazed at the absence of options to make baking more natural and accessible so she made her own. She’s determined to help bakers around the world take pride in their pantries, joy in their treats, and time together in the heart of the home.
From first Thanksgiving to present day, these two enjoy time together. Photo: @sarahmgellar
This forty-year-old wife and mom teamed up with THE EMOJI MOVIE and sent a couple of her organic DIY baking kits to us challenging us to get with our kids and make emoji cookies. We were up to the task!
Ingredients
For cookies:
1 Foodstirs Organic Sweet Tooth Sugar Cookie Mix
12 Tbsp butter, cold and cubed
1 egg
For frosting:
1 Foodstirs Organic Vanilla Frosting Mix
3 Tbsp butter, cold and cubed
2 Tbsp yogurt, Greek or plain
Natural green, red, blue, brown, orange and yellow dye
Piping bags (for frosting)
Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on low speed or by hand until creamy, then blend in egg. Slowly add dry cookie mix and blend until all incorporated.
- Gather dough into a ball and flatten into a disc. Wrap in plastic and freeze 20 minutes or until firm. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Flour a flat surface and roll out dough to 1/4” thick.
- Cut cookies from dough using a 2” round cutter and place 1” apart on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake 12-14 minutes or until edges are slightly brown. Cool cookies completely on a wire rack.
To make the frosting, in a large bowl blend together the butter and yogurt then add the dry frosting mix and blend a minute more until smooth and creamy.
Divide frosting and use the natural dyes to color the frosting. Place each color of frosting into a piping bag, and decorate the cookies as your favorite emoji.
The Emoji Movie opens Friday, July 28.
