KooBoo Sugar Cookies
3/4 Cup Butter (Softened)
3/4 Cup Sugar
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 Egg (Large)
1 tbsp. Milk
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 Cups Flour
Mix softened butter (I typically melt it to make mixing in the flour easier), sugar, baking power and salt until combined. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time until completely mixed (can use mixer or spoon). Cover and chill for about an hour (this will help to roll out and retain cookie cutter shapes).
Preheat oven to 375.
Roll cookie dough (small amount at a time) out on lightly floured surface until approximately 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shapes and transfer to cookie sheet. Make sure to leave a little room between the cookies! Bake for 9 minutes on center rack (or until slightly browned). Transfer to cooling rack.
KooBoo Powdered Sugar Icing
3 Cups Powered Sugar
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
3 tbsp. Milk
Food Coloring
Mix powdered sugar, vanilla and milk until they are the consistency of glue. Add additional milk if necessary (1/2 tbsp. at a time). Add food coloring until desired color is achieved.
Transfer icing to a shallow container a little wider than the cookies. Dip cookies in icing letting the excess drip back into the container. Let dry for several hours before decorating with additional icing or fondant.
