1. Sugar Cookies
These are so fun to make!
Ingredients:
2 sticks of butter
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup of milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
4 cups flour
In a large bowl mix together your flour, salt and baking powder. In a seperate bowl combine your wet ingredients and add to dry.
Mix until well combined. Divide your dough into 3 balls, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours.
Once your dough has chilled, flour your surface and rolling pin, roll out your dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out your cookies.
Bake at 350 for 7-8 minutes or until the bottoms start to get a little color. Keep an eye on them, you don't want to overbake them or they become hard.
Now comes the fun part... DECORATING.
To decorate my cookies I use Courtney Collingsworth's Royal Icing recipe, except I substitute the Almond Extract for more Vanilla.
2 Egg whites
2 cups of Powdered Sugar
1 tsp vanilla
This recipe works good for flooding your cookie, But to edge your cookie before you flood them, I thicken the icing by adding more powdered sugar until it is like a toothpaste consistency.
