Holiday Sugar Cookies

Ready in about 2 hrs 24 minutes (including
set time for dough)

Makes about 3 dozen 2½ inch cookies

Cookie Ingredients

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbs milk
- Powdered sugar for rolling dough

Icing Ingredients

- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 4 tsp light corn syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla or almond extract

Cookie Preparation

- Sift together flour, baking powder, and
salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, place
butter and sugar and beat with a mixer
until light in color. Add egg and milk, beat
to combine. Change mixer speed to low,
and gradually add in the flour. Beat until
mixture pulls away from the sides of the
bowl.
- Divide dough in half. Wrap in wax paper
and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or
overnight
-  Once dough has set in refrigerator,
preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-  Sprinkle powdered sugar on a surface for rolling. Take one wrapped pack of
dough from the refrigerator at a time.
Cover rolling pin with powdered sugar,
then roll out the dough to be about ¼ inch
thick. Move the dough around
periodically to make sure it doesn’t stick
to your surface. If the dough warms
during rolling, place a cold cookie sheet
on top for 10 minutes to chill, or place the
rolled dough into the fridge.
- Cut cookies into desired shapes. Place at
least 1 inch apart onto a parchment-lined
baking sheet, or silicone baking mat. Bake
for 7-10 minutes or until cookies turn
brown around the edges. Rotate the
cookie sheet halfway through baking to
ensure they bake evenly.
- Let sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes
after removing from oven, then move
them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Icing Preparation

- In a medium bowl, stir together
powdered sugar and milk until
smooth.
- Beat in vanilla extract and light corn
syrup until smooth. Add more corn
syrup if it’s too thick, or powdered
sugar if it’s too thin, until it is the
desired consistency.
- Divide and add food coloring, mix
well. Put into pastry bags to pipe,
and/or dip cookies into icing,
depending on what style cookie you
want. Decorate with sprinkles and
other cookie toppings.
