This is our family's favorite Christmas cookie! A very light cookie, not overly sweet, but will satisfy any sweet tooth! Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup butter, softened |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
16 ounces powdered sugar |
2 egg whites |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring |
food coloring |
Directions:
1. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
2. Beat the butter until fluffy. Add the sugar and beat until well incorporated. Add the eggs and vanilla and slowly add the flour mixture. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
3. Roll out the cookies on a well floured surface to your desired thickness and cut out with cookie cutters.
4. Bake at 400 for 5-8 minutes. Cool and frost.
5. For frosting, mix all ingredients, if too thick you may add a little water to thin out. Separate into bowls and add food coloring if you prefer. The frosting will harden so you can stack them later.
