Instructions
  1. To make cookie dough, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg and any flavourings and mix on medium speed to incorporate. Add the flour and mix on low speed until the dough comes together.
  2. Roll between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 180 degrees C. To cut these cookies, we need to score the dough in a pixel pattern. To do so, using a carving knife or any long blade, score the dough with vertical lines, about 1/4″ apart. Then score the dough with horizontal lines. Using a pairing knife and following the lines on the dough, cut out your Tetris pieces and place them on baking sheets.
  3. Bake for 8 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden.
  4. To make royal icing, place all 3 ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on slow for a minute to combine your ingredients. Turn the mixer to high speed and mix for 7 minutes. Divide the royal icing in 6 parts to make each of the following colours: yellow, orange, red, blue, purple, green.
  5. To decorate the cookies, start by covering each one in the right colour of royal icing. Let the icing set completely. These are small cookies so it doesn’t take that long. You can stick them in the oven overnight with the light on. To add the final details, using a food colouring pen, add lines to divide each piece into little squares.
