I just made some cookies, b/c my number one sugar cookie customer is coming into town, my brother! I am expecting them to arrive todaty! I can hardly wait.
I made sugar cookie flowers this time around, take a look:
Half of the cookies look exactly like this . . . White daisies with yellow trim.
And the other half look like this pink tulips, with green trim!
Here is the recipe!!
Sugar Cookies- Thick Cut Outs!!!!
6 egg yolks
4 eggs
2 cups butter softened
2 1/8 cups white flour
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 t. vanilla
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time mixing well. Add vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Cover dough and chill at least one hour.
Preaheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease cooke sheets. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 inch thick and cut into desired shaped using cookie cutters. Place 2 inches apart on to the prepared pans.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool on sheets for 5 mintues before placing on wire cooling rack.
Royal Frosting
3 Egg whites room temperature
1 lb powdered sugar sifted, about 4 3/4 cups
1 t. vanilla
1/2 t. cream of tartar
food coloring as desired
Combine all ingredients in small deep bowl. Beat with electric mixer until frosting is stiff. Divide and color. Keep frosting covered with damp cloth when not using, b/c it will harden. Now have fun and get creative!!
