You know that meme that shows an outline of a man and it says ‘Why so quiet? What’s on your mind?’ That meme is basically me and the empty space inside the brain would be showing these cookies. Specifically, these cookies with the lyrics of all the diss tracks from Kendrick and Drake up until May 5th (the day I finished baking these cookies), hours before “The Heart Part 6” came out. I was so quick to make the cookies (almost pulled an all nighter!) but slow to share them with you here (as always). I did manage to share on Instagram the day I made them and absolutely loved all the hilarious comments you left for me to enjoy for the remainder of the day.
The cookies are classic vanilla sugar cookies made with a recipe I love and each cookie was flooded with pink (Drake) or purple (Kendrick) royal icing, and decorated with lyrics with their respective songs. You might notice a little white cookie up top in white — that’s a sad little J. Cole cookie because he might did delete later. After the flood icing dried, I made a stiff royal icing for the text because I wanted to make sure each letter retained it’s shape during the drying process. Some words got an additional layer of white royal icing for emphasis. Lastly, each cookie got a spritz of edible glitter because it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t add glitter to everything I possibly could. Decorating sugar cookies is definitely not my forte, but I did have so much making these and listening to the diss tracks during the entire process.

![day two: sparkly matcha neapolitan shortbread cookies ✨
the instructions might seem confusing, but if you watch the video to see how the different flavour layers are stacked, it will make much more sense! these slice and bake cookies freeze extremely well so you can make the dough now and bake them off when you want to gift them. (makes 40-44)
vanilla dough:
85g (1/3 cup + 2 tsp) unsalted butter, room temp
45g (6 tbsp) powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla
90g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
matcha dough:
85g (1/3 cup + 2 tsp) unsalted butter, room temp
45g (6 tbsp) powdered sugar
90g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
2 tsp culinary matcha powder
1/4 tsp salt
strawberry dough
85g (1/3 cup + 2 tsp) unsalted butter, room temp
45g 6 tbsp) powdered sugar
90g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp freeze-dried strawberry powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg white
coarse sanding sugar
for the vanilla dough, combine butter and powdered sugar in a bowl. mix until smooth. add vanilla. add flour and salt and mix until no dry streaks remain. do the same for the matcha and strawberry doughs in separate bowls
place one portion of the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll into a 5 x 9-inch rectangle that is about 1/4-inch thick. slide rolled out dough onto a baking sheet and freeze for 10 min until firm. repeat this step with the other portions of dough
remove the top piece of parchment from each slab and stack the strawberry, vanilla, and matcha dough layers. cut the slab down the middle the long way to form two 2.5 x 9-inch rectangles. with one half, carefully swap the order of the layers (example: if the first half of the dough is stacked svm, swap the second half so it’s msv. this will ensure that same flavour squares don’t stack on each other). stack the halves. press the layers gently to adhere them. return the stacked dough to the freezer for another 10min
