With Christmas comes cookies for Santa! If you do not already have a tasty treat to share, here is one that is delicious and easy!
Sugar Cookies:
Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Mix well shortening, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Blend flour, baking powder and salt. Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour. Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake 6-8 minutes. Let cool before frosting.
Butter Icing:
Ingredients:
1/3 cup softened butter
3 cups confectioner's (powdered) sugar
about 3 tablespoons heavy cream (I do a lot more, enough to make it smooth for easy application on cookies)
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Food coloring to desirable color
Directions:
Blend butter and sugar together. Stir in vanilla and cream until smooth. (I usually whip all in all ingredients with an electric beater).
