STEPS
INGREDIENTS
In a mixer bowl, two sticks softened butter, and 2 cups sugar
Blend well and scrape down bowl. Add two eggs and mix
Next add your dry ingredients: 4 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt and 2 tsp baking powder. Also, this is when I add about 2 tsp milk
Mix just until it comes together
Flour a sheet of wax paper
Roll out small disc of the dough
Place floured sheet on top
Roll out a little less than an inch thick (or to your liking)
Cut out shapes
Place on sheet and bake about 7 minutes at 400•
Bake until browned up
Allow to cool before removing from sheet ten place on cooking rack while waiting to make icing
Buttercream icing : 2 sticks softened butter
Add about 2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar and 2 TB milk. Beat well, for a few minutes if you like yours thinner add a little more milk
I use the color gels I don't like the coloring that's liquid. It doesn't color as well as the gel.
Add enough to color your icing
Place some in a small bowl
Warm in a microwave for about 12 seconds
Add a little milk. About a tsp stir well
Ice your cookie over the icing bowl
Let it drop over bowl
Lay on your cooling rack until the icing sets up. If, as your glazing the glaze starts to thicken as it cools, just warm again in the microwave for a few sec
I don't prefer the sugar sprinkles but it is very pretty on the trees. Like snow
Mine take about an hour to set up. They freeze perfectly. Enjoy!
