Our Christmas Cutout Cookie This is a wonderfully easy cookie to make and quick!
I have included my favorate icing because it needs a little additional flavor to enhance and decorate.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- 1 cup shortening (or for a bit more flavor, 1/2 butter, and 1/2 shortening)
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream sugar and shortening together. Add eggs and dry ingredients. Add the milk last.
No need to chill this dough, simply roll out to 1/4 inch thickness, keep a bit of extra flour available for dusting, as the dough tends to get a bit sticky. Just roll out, cut out, and bake 10-12 minutes.
Yield: 2 dozen.
