DELUXE SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Mix powdered sugar, butter, egg, vanilla and almond extract. Stir in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Note: I make mine in my stand mixer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Or, you can freeze this dough up to 3 months. Bake: Heat oven to 350°F. Divide dough into halves. Roll each half about 3/6-inch thick on a lightly floured surface, making sure to add flour to your rolling pin. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet (I use parchment paper). Bake until edges are light brown, 9 to 11 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Frost and decorate as desired. Easy glaze: I prefer to measure the ingredients in ounces, with a scale, so I've provided volume measurements as well. Using a fine mesh sieve, I whisk the powdered sugar into a bowl to get rid of any lumps. This makes for a very smooth glaze. Mix all of the ingredients together. Stir until smooth; a fork works fine, but a whisk is best. The glaze should be thick, but soft enough to "settle" when you spread it. If the glaze is too thick, dribble in another teaspoon of milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time. Add food color, if you like; gel paste food colors are preferable, as they yield vibrant color, and don't alter the liquid/sugar ratio as regular food colors might. There are different ways you can apply the glaze to cookies. I took the easy route and spooned the frosting. A zip-loc bag could be come a disposable bag, with a small corner cut out. You can then outline the shape of the cookie, and then "flood" it in with more frosting. Allow at least 2 hours for the frosting to set. Just don't lay the glaze on too thick. If you want to add sprinkles, add them right on top of the glaze, before it sets.

Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes a few at a time and place on baking sheet. Decorate with sugars, etc before baking or after they're cooled & frosted. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until very light brown on the edges. Cool on the cookie sheet for 1o minutes and then on cooling rack until completely cooled.
• 2. My Notes: I modified this recipe to use the Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I always double this recipe because u can never have too many sugar cookies. Be sure and not double the baking soda. Use 1+1/2 tsp. instead. The dough is very soft so it does need to be refrigerated before using.
• 3. Frosting: 1 lb powdered sugar (C&H brand preferred) 1/4 cup butter, softened, 1 dash salt, 1 tsp clear vanilla (keeps it white), a Tablespoon or 2 of evaporated milk. Whisk or whip on mixer all ingredients together till smooth, adding a little milk at a time till it is the right spreading consistancy, Decorate your cookies with as much imagination as u desire. Enjoy!
