Basic Sugar Cookies:
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks butter (softened)
1 and 1/2 cup confectioner sugar
1 egg
2 to 3 teaspoons flavoring (vanilla or almond)
1 and 1/2 to 2 and 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
(Dough does not have to refrigerated)
Assorted sugars to decorate cookies.
Ingredients:
Cream together butter and confectioner sugar and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix egg with flavoring of choice (vanilla or almond).
Add egg mixture to the creamed butter mixture and mix until well combined and creamy.
In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt.
Add flour mixture to creamed mixture little by little, mixing well after each addition. You can tell when dough is ready when most of it sticks to the paddle and it has a little give and does not stick to fingers.
Roll out onto lightly floured surface 1/4 inch thick.
Cut cookies out with your favorite cookie cutters
Place cookies on a cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper) and decorate with assorted sugars.
Bake at 400F for 7 to 8 minutes.
The icing decorating icing is Royal Icing…(Wilton), you can google the recipe, I don’t have it typed up yet but will later…when time allows.
Serena, I thought you might like this cookie shape, I know I do. These are from the sugar cookie recipe I posted earlier “Basic Sugar Cookies.” I used sanding sugar which is more chunky than regular sugar.
