Fun Cookies

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350º F
  • Sprinkle flour onto work surface
  • Roll dough two-inch thickness, using additional flour as needed to prevent sticking
  • Cut with 2 1/2-inch cookie cutters
  • Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets
  • Repeat with trimmings
  • Bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown around edges. (Smaller cutters and sharp edges tend to produce darker cookies)
  • Cool for 2 minutes
  • Then place cookies on wire racks to cool completely
  • Decorate with icing as desired and sprinkle with toppers. Store cookies in a tightly covered container if not served immediately.

For Easy Cookie Icing: Combine 2 cups sifted powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in small bowl. Stir in additional milk, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency. For colored icing, tint with food coloring. Makes about 2/3 cup.

Enjoy!
