COOKIE INGREDIENTS

1 cup (2 sticks butter), room temperature
1 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cream or milk
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder

COOKIE INSTRUCTIONS

Make cookie batter – In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla extract and milk or cream. Cream well. Sift all-purpose flour and baking powder. Add to the creamed mixture. Shape mixture into a flat disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour.

2. Bake cookies – Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove dough from refrigerator, unwrap, and place on a floured surface. Roll to ½ inch thickness and cut out dress, rabbit, heart, diamond, and circle shapes. If desired, use the edge of a round cutter to trim some of the circles to a crescent shape. Place cookies on a prepared baking sheet 3 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.

3. Decorate – After cookies are completely cooled, decorate with your favorite frosting using the tutorials below. Our favorite recipe for royal icing is below.

ROYAL ICING

4 cups confectioner’s sugar
3 tablespoons meringue powder
6-8 tablespoons warm water
Blue, Pink, Yellow Gel Food Coloring

Make Royal Icing – Combine confectioner’s sugar, meringue powder, and 6 tablespoons of warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on high speed for approximately 2 minutes. When you lift up the whisk attachment, the royal icing should drizzle down. Add more water 1/2 tablespoon at a time to achieve desired consistency. If icing is too thin, add more confectioner’s sugar. Divide into bowls and add food coloring. Mix until thoroughly combined.
