How To Make sugar cookies
-
1Cream butter & sugar together until fluffy
-
2Add egg & vanilla. Beat well
-
3Sift dry ingredients & add to creamed mixture a bit at a time until completely blended. (Adding cornflour is optional but makes cake flour & helps shape of cookies)
-
4Cover & chill for at least 30 minutes.
-
5Roll out dough, on floured board, to about 6mm thick (thicker cookies will be softer, thinner crispier)
-
6Cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters (dipped in flour).
-
7Bake on lined tray at 180 C for about 10 minutes.
-
8Make a paste of icing sugar (2 T) & water (1-2 tsp). Use this to glue on raisins, m&m's, lollies, sprinkles or coloured sugar (mix a drop or two of food colouring into white sugar & let dry a few hours) Chocolate drops can be pressed into cookies before baking.
-
9For all over icing mix butter, icing sugar, vanilla (or flavouring of choice) with a little milk or water until it is a spreading consistency. Pipe around edges of cookie before filling (gives a clean non-dribbling edge)
