Here’s the recipe for Unique and Beloved Holiday Theme-Print Cookies;
Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients.
- Use a mixer or beater to beat all the wet ingredients.
- Add flour mixture into the butter mixture and make the dough.
- Chill the dough for several hours.
- Take the orange sized dough piece and pat it flat in your hand.
- Sprinkle lightly with a flour sugar mix. (Use a 2:1 ratio of flour and sugar. 4 tbsp flour mixed with 2 tbsp sugar).
- Using a rolling pin, roll dough on a flour board or between wax paper.
- Flour both sides of the dough, so the dough will lift easily when cut.
- Roll out to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out the cookie shapes. (If the rolled out dough gets too soft, chill out for 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator).
- Place the cookies on cookie sheets and bake them for 8-10 minutes at 200 C.
- Remove the cookies from the oven as soon as you see them turning colour at the base of the cookies.
- Cool the cookies for a minute or two on the baking sheet and then transfer them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Use a mixer to beat the icing ingredients until smooth.
- If your icing is too thick, add a little amount of milk and thoroughly remix until the consistency you prefer.
- Separate into different bowls and add food colours.
- Spread the icing onto the cookies, Use cake decorating piping equipment to add decorative accents.
- If you want sprinkle type decorating candies to stick, brush the cookie with simple Karo syrup and then sprinkle. Enjoy!
