Today my baby celebrated his 4th birthday party! He had a blast. For a favor, I made ice cream cone shaped cookies (hey, it IS the first day of summer!) and attached them to a Friendly’s gift card. Since we had a Scooby theme, I made a basket to match to hold the favors. These cookies are simple and absolutely delish!!! These were definitely time consuming but in the end they make a nice favor for the kiddies. Big smiles!
SUGAR COOKIES-RECIPE TIME!
3 c flour
1/2 Tablespoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
2 sticks butter
1 egg
2 Tablespoons milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
ELECTRIC MIX BUTTER & SUGAR. ADD EGG, MILK, VANILLA. ADD FLOUR & BAKING POWDER. PAT INTO DISK. CHILL 1 HOUR. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350. ROLL DOUGH ON FLOURED BOARD TO DESIRED THICKNESS. I LIKE THEM THICK. CUT SHAPES AND LAY ON PARCHMENT LINED COOKIE SHEETS. BAKE 15-20 MINUTES DEPENDING ON SIZE OF COOKIE. IF SMALLER, CHECK THEM EARLIER. LET COOL ON SHEETS.
ROYAL ICING Ingredients
1 pound confectioners’ sugar
3 tablespoons meringue powder
Scant 1/2 cup water
Directions
Beat ingredients in a mixer bowl on low speed until smooth, about 7 minutes. If icing is too thick, add more water; if too thin, beat 2 to 3 minutes more. Add coloring depending on how many colors you need and have fun decorating!
