Though it's just my 2nd time to bake I was surprised that it turned out great. the cookie alone was delicious. my advise is to find a good hiding spot for them for decoration 'coz they'll be gone in no time. * I used royal icing to decorate. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 1/2 cups white sugar |
2 eggs |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 1/2 teaspoons butter flavor extract |
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs and flavorings and mix well. Stir flour, baking powder and salt together. Add to batter and mix well.
2. CHILL 3-4 hours or overnight before using.
3. Roll cookies out approximately 1/4 inch thick and insert cookie sticks at least 1/3 to 1/2 way into cookie.
4. Bake cookies at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes. This dough keeps well in a covered container in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
5. Decorate as desired. Display 3-7 cookies in a 6 inch clay pot (depending on size of cookie). Weigh pot down with dried beans and cut a circle of Styrofoam to fit snugly into top. Add ribbons and enjoy.
