After a major life change that had me working two jobs for a spell, things are finally getting back to "normal".
For me, normal includes frequent cookie baking ~ especially during this most wonderful time of the year.
So...here you go:
Butter ~ 1 and 1/2 cups (3 sticks)
Sugar ~ 2 cups
Eggs ~ 4
Vanilla ~ 1 tsp.
Flour ~ 5 cups
Salt ~ 1 tsp.
Baking Powder ~ 2 tsp.
Vanilla Icing
Sprinkles
Cookie Cutters (optional)
Set the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla and mix well. Then combine flour, salt, and baking powder and add both mixtures together. Roll the dough into small balls then press each flat (about a quarter inch thick) onto baking sheet. I use the cutters to "imprint" here, then sprinkle a little red and a little green on each. Bake for 10 minutes, allow to cool, then make your cookie sandwiches by spreading the icing between two cookies.
Do be prepared. Once you make these, you will be asked to make them again. And again.
Happy baking...and have a wonderful Saturday :)
