COOKIES NATAL


RECIPES

  • 3 3/4 cups all−purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1−1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Decorator sparkling sugar

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Gradually blend in the sifted ingredients until fully absorbed. Cover dough, and chill for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 400F. Grease cookie sheets. On a clean floured surface, roll out small portions of chilled dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters. Sprinkle with decorator sparkling sugar. Bake 6 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are barely brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

Decorator Sparkling Sugar:

  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup food coloring

Preheat oven to 150F. Stir sugar and food coloring together and spread the mixture in a shallow baking pan. Place the sugar in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Remove when the liquid has evaporated. Cool. Store sugar in a tightly−covered jar.
