How to Make Flat Earth Sugar Cookies (from scratch sugar cookie base)
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup white sugar and 3/4 cup softened butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add in 2 eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
Stir in 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until a soft dough forms.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly dust your counter or work surface with flour. Roll out dough to about ¼ to ½ inch thickness.
Divide dough into two equal parts. Add blue food coloring to one half, and green food coloring to the other. Knead each until color is evenly mixed.
Pinch small bits from both doughs, press together gently, and roll into a smooth ball with a blue-green swirl. Flatten slightly to form your “Flat Earth” discs.
Space the cookies apart on a cookie sheet lined in parchment paper.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are just turning golden. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving or decorating.
