A little sugar
|
We had our sweet friends Erika and Audrey here this week and had fun making sugar cookies together. Jude especially loved the extra large chunk of dough he bit off and ate before I could stop him!:) For the recipe, click on the jump below. Happy Valentine’s! |
1 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Mix butter & sugar, then add eggs & vanilla. Combine dry ingredients & add to butter mixture. Mix well. Roll out onto a lightly floured surface & cut out with cookie cutters. Place on a lightly sprayed pan & bake at 375 degrees for 8 or 9 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Place on rack to cool. This dough freezes well, just wrap tightly in a plastic freezer bag or cling wrap and thaw until soft & roll-able.
Frosting
1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbs very soft butter
1 or 2 Tbs milk or water (adjust amount for the consistency you want)
1/2 tsp vanilla
Food coloring if desired
Mix together well & adjust liquid or powdered sugar if necessary.
Spread onto cooled cookies. Enjoy!
Jude ~ your valentine cookie looks so yummy!!! I can remember making those with your momma when she was little!
